CINCINNATI — After initially wanting to fight charges, a former Hamilton County deputy to smuggling marijuana and tobacco into the Hamilton County Justice Center.
Jason Robinson, 22, was arrested in April 2022 and charged with two third-degree felony counts of illegal conveyance into a correctional facility while he was working as a corrections officer.
A records request by the WCPO I-Team found that deputies located "excessive amounts" of marijuana and tobacco during a search of cells. The total amount confiscated was about 3/4 of a pound.
Robinson entered a guilty plea Monday for both counts. He is no longer employed with the sheriff's office.
