👮‍♂️ Senior prison officer charged in smuggling case

A long-serving senior prison officer, Derron Watson, has been charged and bailed after appearing in court on suspicion of smuggling drugs into a men's jail. Watson was arrested last week following a joint operation by the HM Cayman Islands Prison Service, the Department of Public Safety Communications, and the police at HMP Northward. His case will return to Grand Court on Friday, 15 March. 🚔

Watson has now been charged with misconduct in public office and supplying drugs, specifically ganja. The charges come as a significant blow to the prison service, given Watson's senior position and long service. The case continues to develop, with further details expected to emerge in the coming weeks. 🏛️
