ANCHORAGE — A former corrections officer suspected of smuggling drugs into prison is expected to take a plea deal.
KTUU-TV reported Adam Jason Spindler was arrested in May.
Court records say Spindler is expected to plead guilty Monday to drug conspiracy and possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute.
The plea agreement states Spindler started smuggling drugs in late March.
He was put under surveillance after corrections officials contacted the FBI.
Investigators say Spindler met with a suspected drug dealer before his shift at Goose Creek Correctional Center.
He spotted a Corrections Department K-9 vehicle at the prison and handed his bag to an officer who later turned it over to authorities.
The bag contained heroin and marijuana.
Charging documents say Spindler acknowledged the drugs were for an inmate.
