Malissa Goff, 39 of Fall River, who worked as a medical technician at the Bristol County Dartmouth House of Corrections, has been accused of delivering drugs to a prisoner in the jail. Darren Andrade, 38 of New Bedford, was accused of receiving the drugs.
Following an investigation based on reports of synthetic cannabinoids or synthetic marjuana in the jail, investigators observed Goff handing Andrade the drugs within the jail on Oct. 7.
Synthetic marijuana is also known as “spice” or “K-2” and is a designer drug manufactured to mimic the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, THC.
They then searched her car and found a loaded and unsecured firearm.
She is being charged with delivering drugs or articles to prisoners, conspiracy and improper storage of a firearm. Andrade is being charged with conspiracy.
They were both arraigned on Nov. 3, and released on personal recognizance. However, Andrade remains at the jail for prior charges.
