A Seattle Department of Corrections worker wasn’t acting so correctly, reports the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Corrections Officer Christian Knight is charged with providing suspected heroin and meth drug dealer Todd Hamilton, a convicted felon with connections to the Aryan Nation, “security” and intelligence on investigations, according to court documents. Hamilton was on probation. Knight is no longer with the Corrections Department.
A detailed 120-page criminal complaint, which also names Hamilton as a defendant, showed that Knight provided sensitive investigative information via texts. Knight is also accused of delivering heroin for the drug organization, the Post-Intelligencer reported.
Hamilton and several suspects were affiilated with “The Hated,” an Aryan Nation-affiliated gang operating in state prisons, according to charges unsealed this week.
“This drug-trafficking organization damaged many lives with the heroin and methamphetamine they spread in our communities,” U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan said in a statement. “This conspiracy thrived on threats and violence, and used a corrupted former corrections officer to try to avoid arrest.”
