Three Luzerne County, Penn. prison officers accused of smuggling marijuana into the jail are officially off the county payroll for good. Prison board members voted unanimously last y to terminate the employment of corrections officers Peter Achey, Wilkes-Barre, and Shawn Cunningham, Swoyersville. The board also voted to accept the resignation of corrections officer Gordon Mason, Mountain Top. The trio was arrested on Oct. 16, along with two inmates, following an undercover investigation at the county lockup. Cunningham and Achey were charged with bringing controlled substances into the prison, bribery in official and political matters, unlawful delivery of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of a controlled substance. Mason was charged with bringing controlled substance contraband into the prison, bribery in official and political matters, unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, and attempting to obtain altered, forged or counterfeit documents or plates. The probe began in July when Warden Gene Fischi alerted District Attorney David W. Lupas that corrections officers were allegedly bringing drugs into the prison. The accused officers had been on unpaid suspension since their arrest last month and are scheduled to face trial in Luzerne County Court. Board Solicitor Mike Kostelansky said Mason submitted his resignation on Oct. 21. Cunningham and Achey were terminated, effective Nov. 17 because they failed to appear for a special personnel hearing to defend themselves against the charges. Kostelansky said the investigation of two prison lieutenants on paid suspension for allegedly leaking internal prison reports continues. Lieutenants John Barry and Genny Butczynski were suspended last month after prison officials accused them of breaching security by leaking confidential records to the media. The lieutenants claim they are being targeted because they openly criticized the warden and his deputies of mismanagement after the Oct. 10 escape of accused killer Hugo Selenski. County Commissioner Steve Urban, a member of the prison board, said an outside security consultant has been hired to examine the Selenski incident and probe the procedural and structural stability of the prison. When asked if the results of the investigation would be made public once it is completed, county Solicitor Jim Blaum said parts of the review dealing with security matters would be likely be blacked out of the report before it was released. |
