A 46-year-old Montgomery resident named Guice, who previously served as a correctional officer with the Alabama Department of Corrections (ADOC), has been sentenced to 75 months in federal prison. This decision comes after Guice was found guilty of participating in a conspiracy to smuggle illegal drugs into a prison. The United States Drug Enforcement Administration confirmed this information. It is worth mentioning that federal inmates are not eligible for parole.
On June 20, 2023, an ADOC officer and his canine performed a routine sniff search in the parking lot of the Staton Correctional Facility in Elmore County.
During a routine search of Guice’s vehicle, the officer’s trained dog detected something suspicious. As a result, Guice, who was working inside the facility at the time, was subjected to a thorough search. The search revealed three bags of suspected methamphetamine in his car. In addition, a subsequent search of Guice’s pockets revealed two more bags of the illicit substance. Analysis later confirmed that the substance was indeed methamphetamine.
In May 2024, Guice made a confession regarding his possession of methamphetamine and his intention to distribute it. He also admitted to conspiring with someone else to smuggle the drugs into the prison. As a result of the investigation, a 48-year-old inmate named Brad Elliot Gordon, who is housed at Staton Correctional Facility, was indicted for his alleged participation in the conspiracy. Gordon’s trial is scheduled for February 3, 2025.
It is important to keep in mind that an indictment is only an accusation, and every defendant, including Gordon, is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
