Corrections Officer Faces Felony Ethics Charge

An Alabama corrections officer is facing a felony ethics charge after officials say he accepted money from undercover officers in exchange for promoting illegal contraband inside a state prison.  Court records show 30-year-old Rayshawn Blackmon was arrested last week.  Authorities say Blackmon unknowingly made contact with undercover officers after a Kilby Correctional Facility inmate told him to pick up $1,000 from a friend.  According to court records, Blackmon was arrested at a Montgomery Wal-Mart, where he had arranged to meet the undercover officers to pick up the money.
