Desiree Douglas, 33, was booked July 30 in Richmond County on charges of conspiracy to commit a crime and possession of synthetic narcotics with intent to distribute after investigators accused her of agreeing to bring K2 into the Charles B. Webster Detention Center. Investigators said Douglas had been working for VitalCore Health Strategies, the jail's medical provider, for about six weeks as a certified nursing assistant.
Investigators said the case began after they reviewed intercepted calls involving Richmond County Jail inmate Kenneth Williams and Macon State Prison inmate Antwan Rogers Jr. that included discussion of someone named "Douglas" bringing contraband into the jail. They said messages on the jail's Chirp system also referred to a source called "Regina," Douglas' middle name, and that they later learned Douglas and Rogers were Facebook friends.
A drug-sniffing dog alerted three times on Douglas' SUV in the jail employee parking lot, investigators said. During a search of the vehicle, deputies said they found marijuana residue and a sheet of paper that tested positive for K2, which investigators said is commonly cut into small pieces and sold inside jails.
Investigators said Douglas told them Rogers is her nephew and that she had talked with him on a cellphone she knew had been smuggled into prison. According to the report, Douglas said Rogers offered her money to bring the synthetic drug into the Richmond County jail for Williams, but she became scared and left it in her vehicle.
