Former Correctional Guard Smuggled Drugs Into Prison

A former correctional officer who smuggled drugs into a Minnesota prison pleaded guilty Wednesday. The guard, 44-year-old Lindsey Adams of Farmington, was charged last September with third-degree possession of methamphetamine and introducing contraband into a state correctional facility.   She pleaded guilty to the drug possession charge and as part of the plea deal, the other charge was dropped. Adams was caught on live video delivering drugs to an inmate inside the gym at the Minnesota Correctional Facility in Faribault. In a post-Miranda interview, she at first denied bringing in drugs, but later confessed to having 101 anti-depressant pills and a substance later identified as meth in her pocket. She denied giving anything to the inmate. Adams will be sentenced on Aug. 12.

Unemployment Rate

May was another strong month for the Minnesota jobs market. The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development says the state added 6,600 jobs last month, doubling the rate of the nation as a whole. Another positive sign was the continued growth of the labor force. The labor force grew by more than 2,200 people, marking a growing labor force in 10 of the last 12 months. The most jobs were added in Leisure & Hospitality, Education & Health Services, and Trade, Transportation & Utilities. Mining & Logging, Construction, and Other Services led the way in job losses. Minnesota's unemployment rate ticked upward by one-tenth of a percentage point to 3.3%, compared to 4.2% nationally.
