Drug-sniffing dog is the hero after busting pot-smuggling prison guard
A jailer was sniffed out with 2 ounces of marijuana in his pants by a detection dog on his way to work at the Brooklyn House of Detention on Atlantic Avenue on April 6.
Correction Officer Patrick Gaillard, 30, who resigned on April 11, claimed he found the weed on the street and was going to turn it in at work, according to the Daily News.
His story was foiled when a call was recorded between inmate Adam Franco, 23, and his girlfriend Samantha Pereira, 27, in which Franco told his girlfriend to pay Gaillard for the weed.
