Alva (AP) - A correctional officer at the Bill Johnson Correctional Center in Alva faces charges of trying to buy stolen property from an inmate at the minimum-security prison.
Sergeant Jo Thompson is accused of making a deal with an inmate to buy two personal watercraft for one-thousand dollars.
Prison spokesman Jerry Massie says Thompson has resigned her position at the prison.
Massie says the inmate Thompson had agreed to buy the watercraft from notified prison employees. The Department of Corrections then had the inmate arrange a meeting between Thompson and an undercover officer posing as the person who had the stolen watercraft.

And some of us wonder why corrections is looked down upon. This is the reason.
