Bribery and Smuggling Scandal Rocks NEOCC
A shocking case of corruption has been uncovered at the Northeast Ohio Correctional Center (NEOCC), where a correctional officer has been charged with accepting bribes and smuggling contraband into the facility.
Terry Terrigno, 30, of Canfield, Ohio, was charged on November 14, 2022 with one count each of providing narcotics, marijuana, and tobacco to inmates and one count of accepting bribes.
According to court documents, Terrigno allegedly smuggled suboxone, marijuana, and tobacco to NEOCC prison inmates in return for electronic bribery payments made through a mobile phone application from February 2017 to July 2019.
The case was investigated by the Cleveland FBI and the Office of the Inspector General, with the assistance of Assistant U.S. Attorney Justin Seabury Gould.
Terrigno’s sentence will be determined by the court after a review of factors unique to this case, including his prior criminal record, if any, his role in the offenses, and the characteristics of the violation.
