On January 20, 2025, Investigators with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office Tri-County Drug Task Force and Criminal Investigation Division were made aware of two individuals who were able to introduce contraband into the Dub Brassell Adult Detention Center on two separate events on January 18, 2025.
On January 24, 2025, Investigators were able to locate and apprehend one of the suspects, identified as 43-year-old Clinton Eugene Tucker. Tucker was transported to the Criminal Investigation Division and subsequently booked into the Dub Brassell Adult Detention Center on the charges of A.C.A. 5-54-119 Furnishing Prohibited Articles and A.C.A. 5-54-103 Resisting Arrest. Tucker will appear before court for a probable cause hearing on a later date regarding the charges.
Our Investigators continue to work tirelessly to bring those who commit crimes to justice. In particular Captain Yohance Brunson, Lieutenant Dennis Kendall, Sergeant Clayton Cantrell, Investigators Kirsten Garner, Kirsten Pennington, Morgan Carter, Corey Lowery, and Marcia Oliver were an integral part of the investigation and apprehension of Tucker.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office considers such criminal acts as a clear and present danger to our detention facilities operations and to the detainees we are called to care for and protect. As such, we will always use every means and resource at our disposal to bring those who threaten that mission to justice.
While the second suspect is still at large Investigators continue to seek that person out in hopes of making a second arrest.
