A former Fulton County detention officer is behind bars and facing numerous charges after investigators say she took $17,000 in bribes in exchange for delivering contraband, including pills, to inmates.
On Monday, the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) confirmed the Oct. 4 arrest of Karmen Bailey, 31.
Bailey, who remained in jail Monday, is charged with four counts of violation of oath, two counts of bribery, and two counts of obtaining/procuring/giving inmates prohibited items without authorization.

It doesn’t appear that she has retained counsel, according to court records.
An arrest affidavit also accused Bailey of allowing investigators to search her phone, which revealed that she took bribes from the mother and brother of Marquavious Huey, one of the six defendants currently standing trial in the YSL RICO case against hip hop superstar Young Thug.
On May 6, cellphone records showed that Huey’s mother paid Bailey $500 via Apple Pay, according to court records.
