A Pendleton corrections officer is still in jail after being arrested last night by Indiana State Police.

Tracy McGrady was arrested at the Fortville CVS. Police found a total 3.2 pounds of Marijuana in McGrady’s car and house. Police estimate the prison value of the drugs is around $20,000. McGrady has been an employee at the Pendleton Correctional Facility since 2003.

Police say McGrady hid the drugs in containers of frozen food in order to smuggle them into the prison.

Police got a tip from another employee inside the prison and set up a meeting with McGrady.

"It maybe stopped a guard from getting stabbed or assaulted because now they won't fight or dispute over somebody not giving them dope or money because we got their dope and money," Indiana State Police Detective Bob May said.

McGrady faces charges of bribery, trafficking with an inmate, official misconduct and possession of marijuana over 30 grams. She was also issued an automatic $5,000 fine.
