Former Fountain Correctional Officer Trainee Sentenced On Federal Drug Charges
July 3, 2021
A former corrections officer trainee has been sentenced on federal drug charges.
Tarrence Dramon Tolbert, 40, of Brewton, Alabama, was sentenced to 135 months in federal prison for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
According to documents filed in connection with his guilty plea, Tolbert was a corrections officer trainee at Fountain Correctional Facility in Atmore on February 24, 2020, and a supervisor observed that he was stopped on the side of the road at about 8:30 p.m.
The supervisor stopped and asked Tolbert if everything was okay, and Tolbert replied that he was waiting on a relative. The supervisor was suspicious about these circumstances, and left instructions to have Tolbert and his belongings searched when he arrived for his shift.
Investigators conducted the search as instructed, and discovered methamphetamine ice, marijuana, earbuds, a phone SIM card, cigars, two bottles of liquor and two knives, which Tolbert intended to smuggle into the prison and deliver to certain inmates.

At Hmmm, you’re correct, I’m behind the times!!! I didn’t realize that it had changed 30 YEARS AGO!!!! Thank you for being civil while pointing out my mistake.
That’s messed up. Good job to the supervisor that had the experience and insight to catch that moron.
@William 2 – Actually, you only have to serve 85% in the Feds if you have no shots (write-ups) during your stay. Also, he will receive a year of halfway house, in addition to he will get credit for any time in jail before trial. So, the time he’ll actually spend in the fed pen will be probably less than 100 months.
@ paul He will, no gain time in federal prison, you serve every single day!!!
@JTV I agree 100% the knives should have given him a minimum of 20 yrs because we know that the knives aren’t for slicing tomatoes.
If only the other dirty correctional officers would take pause and stop their bad behavior, but sadly it wont. He is just next.
Should have gotten a lot more.
The knives alone should have gotten him 20 years.
he should do the whole sentence …
