“Our ‘Eyes in the Sky’ operation continues to be effective this year as we thwart attempts by inmates and their accomplices on the outside to bring illegal and potentially dangerous items into the jail,” said Deputy Chief Randy Akies, according to WAGA. “The safety of the intended recipients and others in our custody and on our staff is threatened by this practice, and Sheriff Maddox has made it clear that it will not be tolerated. Violators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. “.
