A Worcester County jail infirmary worker will be sentenced this week after pleading guilty to trying to deliver heroin to an inmate with whom she was having an affair. Prosecutor Michael D. McHugh said Nancy King, 50, was caught with five bags of the drug, a hypodermic needle and a syringe March 12th. Investigators said she told them she intended to deliver the contraband to inmate Gary Bergeron, who worked with her in the jail's infirmary. King told jail officials she was involved in a sexual relationship with Bergeron, and had delivered drugs to him several times in the past. King pleaded guilty last week in Worcester Superior Court to charges of delivering drugs to a prisoner, delivering contraband to a prisoner, possession of heroin with intent to distribute and conspiracy to deliver drugs to a prisoner. McHugh has recommended that King be given an 18-month sentence in jail. King's lawyer, James G. Reardon Jr., recommended probation, saying his client lost her job as an EMT and firefighter for the Douglas Fire Department as a result of the charges against her, is involved in divorce proceedings and is being treated for depression. A codefendant in the case, Cathy Cabana, was ordered held without bail Wednesday after she failed a drug test. McHugh said there was evidence that the drugs were also intended for Cabana's husband, Bernard Cabana, who was Bergeron's cellmate. |
