On 08/24/16, officers of the Johnson City Police Department arrested Lyndi L. Graham (601 E. Main Street, Johnson City; 36 years old) for introducing contraband into a penal institution. Officers also arrested Lori M. Moore (601 E. Main Street, Johnson City; 38 years old) and Heather M. Smith (601 E. Main Street, Johnson City; 30 years old) and charged them with introduction of contraband into a penal institution and criminal conspiracy.
At approximately 10:11 a.m., officers responded to the Johnson City Jail in reference to found contraband. Upon arrival, officers learned that correctional officers located several pieces of contraband, to include Suboxone, in an inmate’s property. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that an outside individual had planned with Graham to drop off a package of contraband at one of the inmate work details. In exchange for Moore and Smith bringing the contraband back to the facility, Graham provided them with a portion.
Graham, Moore, and Smith were transported to the Washington County Detention Center. Graham is temporarily housed at the Washington County Detention Center, where she is being held in lieu of a $5,000 bond. Moore and Smith were returned back to the Johnson City Jail, with a $15,000 bond placed on both. Their arraignment is set for 9:00 a.m. on 08/25/16 in Washington County’s General Sessions Court.
The investigation into the identity of the outside individual is ongoing.
