A Minnesota corrections officer is facing two charges after allegedly trying to smuggle cocaine and a cell phone into the Rush City Prison.
During an interview with investigators on Sept. 27, 2024, Tyler reportedly waived her rights and admitted to possessing the items. A search of her jacket and backpack revealed a hidden cell phone and four baggies containing a white powdery substance concealed inside a rubber glove. The substance tested positive for cocaine and weighed approximately eight grams, court documents say.
Tyler has been charged with one felony count of introducing contraband into a state correctional facility and one misdemeanor count of unauthorized communication with prisoners. The felony charge carries a maximum penalty of up to 10 years in prison and she’s expected to make her initial court appearance later this month.
