PART FOUR

-

COPS have arrested a prison guard who is accused of having sex with an inmate and planning to marry him upon his release.

Authoritie­s nicked 31-year-old Kasey Gamble ( above), a correction­al officer with the Georgetown Co Detention Center in South Carolina.

She is charged with first-degree sexual misconduct with an inmate and misconduct in office.

Investigat­ors said disturbing informatio­n was presented to jail bosses about a possible relationsh­ip between Gamble and a lag.

The sheriff’s office said the inmate admitted the relationsh­ip, saying he wrote letters to her, and the relationsh­ip had “been intimate”.

The sheriff’s office said after a short time, Gamble eventually admitted to her involvemen­t with the inmate and corroborat­ed the evidence. RICH PICKINGS: Frank Lucas made a fortune from heroin sourced from poppy fields in Southeast Asia TEACHER: ‘Bumpy’ Johnson Thailand until they located Atkinson’s main connection and business partner, a Chinese-Thai man named Luetchi Rubiwat.
