The S.C. Department of Corrections Police Services released the arrest warrants for a St. George man in connection with a contraband incident at MacDougall Correctional Institution.
Edwin Monteze Boyd, 43, of St. George, is charged with providing contraband to a prisoner and criminal conspiracy. Charges are pending against an inmate at the institution.
According to the SCDC, Boyd was allegedly being paid $500 by an inmate to bring contraband to the prison. He is charged with throwing four packages over the fences at MacDougall containing 1.8 pounds of tobacco and 3 packs of rolling papers. The packages were intercepted by police and security staff.
The S.C. Department of Corrections reminds members of the public that after an arrest, the burden of proof is on the state to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt within a court of law.
