THIRD PRISON OFFICER ARRESTED

LUMBERTON -- A third Lumberton corrections officer has been arrested and
charged with selling drugs. But it's unclear whether or not she sold them
in the prison.

According to Lumberton Detective Burnis Wilkins, Andrea Campbell, 43, of 14
Bryant St., faces multiple felony drug charges. Wilkins said Campbell was
arrested about noon Wednesday as she was leaving Lumberton Correctional
Institution.

According to prison Superintendent Emilio Pagan, Campbell is still employed
at the prison. Pagan said correctional officials are conducting an internal
investigation. Pagan said Campbell works as a food-service officer.

Campbell was charged with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, possession
with intent to sell and deliver crack cocaine, possession of crack cocaine
and maintaining a drug dwelling. She was jailed under $4,000 bail.

Wilkins said $430 cash and an estimated $200 in cocaine were seized from
Campbell's home when the Lumberton Police Department's Selective
Enforcement Team searched the home Friday. He said the arrest came as the
result of a month-long investigation of her home and undercover purchases
of cocaine from the home.

Campbell is the third prison officer arrested for selling drugs during the
last month. Robert Edward Woodell and Mark Jacobs were each charged with
selling drugs inside the prison. Neither is employed at the prison now.

Woodell, who is 26, also was a prison food-service officer. Jacobs, who is
38, supervised inmates in their dormitories, during recreation and during
meals.
