CLEVELAND, Tennessee (WDEF) – A drug task force has charged six people with trying to smuggle drugs into the Bradley County jail.
They got a tip on Monday about illegal contraband being introduced into the facility.
After reviewing phone calls and video at the jail, they say they identified two co-conspirators from narcotics exchanges last week.
They were Jason Shields and Emanuel Adames.
And they implicated three people on the inside, John Shields, David Taylor and Anthony Earwood.
The investigators also learned of an upcoming exchange on Tuesday.
So they say when Shields and Adames and another juvenile female drove up at 5 PM, they stopped them.
They say they seized a paper envelope meant to be dropped off with suspected fentanyl and meth inside.
Both men were arrested and the juvenile returned to her guardian.
They identified Sami Finley as the source of the narcotics and raided her home on Wednesday.
Here are the various charges against the six.
