MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man and woman, one of whom is an inmate, are facing charges after two corrections deputies were accused of bringing drugs into the jail, the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday.
Romarus Turner, 33, is charged with bribery of a public official, bringing contraband into a penal facility and possession of marijuana with intent to sell.
