Man Arrested Outside Prison Fence With Drugs, 27 Phones

February 27, 2016

A Mobile man was arrested early Friday outside the Fountain Correctional Facility in Atmore after corrections officers observed a suspicious person near the facility’s perimeter fence.

The Department of Corrections arrested Jeramie Solomon, 18, of Mobile and charged him with drug trafficking and prohibited activity on state prison property.  Solomon was taken to the Escambia County (AL) Detention Center in Brewton following his arrest.

At approximately 3 a.m. Friday, a corrections officer manning the prison’s tower observed the Soloman near the fence and wearing black clothing.  When questioned by the officer, Soloman attempted to flee but was detained by the prison’s K-9 unit.

Soloman  was carrying a white bag containing several packages wrapped in black tape.  In the packages corrections officers found 27 cell phones, battery chargers, synthetic marijuana and other contraband.

    Throwing items over the fence is actually a common way to get contraband into prisons. This individual would have made a pretty penny just for the cell phones! Incarcerated criminals have been known to use the cell phones to continue their illegal activities, including such things as calling in “hits”.
