\"closeup<\/a>According to court documents, Ollie Rose III, 62, of Pleasant Hill, worked as a case manager at Caledonia Correctional Institution, a state prison in Halifax County. <\/span><\/p>\n

Rose admitted to agreeing to use his position, from at least November 2018 through October\u00a02020, to smuggle contraband \u2014 including oxycodone, marijuana and synthetic cannabinoids \u2014 into the prison for inmates. <\/span><\/p>\n

Rose further admitted that he did so in exchange for payments ranging from $500 to $1,200 and received more than $40,000 in total in bribes. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>He was paid both in cash and via a mobile application, and he sometimes also accepted a portion of the drugs he smuggled into the prison as payment, according to authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rose pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to use a facility in interstate commerce in furtherance of unlawful activity and one count of extortion under color of official right. A sentencing date has been scheduled for the Sept. 7 term of court. <\/span><\/p>\n

Rose faces a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
