A South Carolina correctional officer has been charged with allegedly smuggling pills into prison by concealing them inside Rice Krispies treats.
The South Carolina Department of Corrections said Thursday that 43-year-old Marcy T. Shaffer had been arrested and charged with misconduct in office, possession of narcotics with intent to distribute and furnishing prisoners with contraband. Authorities say that Shaffer admitted to the crime and was fired after her arrest. The charges against her involve attempting to smuggle the pills into the institution in a Rice Krispies treat, a press release from the department states. The S.C. Department of Corrections reminds members of the public that after an arrest, the burden of proof is on the state to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt within a court of law.
