Joint Investigation Leads to the Arrest of a Correctional Officer

Corey C. Davis
Georgetown- Delaware State Police arrest a Correctional Officer for official misconduct including Receiving a Bribe, while performing his duties at the Sussex Correctional Institution.

The investigation began on Monday, June 4, 2018 when Troop 4 Major Crimes Unit received information from the Department of Correction, regarding a Correctional Officer, 47-year-old Corey C. Davis of Delmar who was employed at the Sussex Correctional Institution, located at 23203 Dupont Boulevard. An internal investigation conducted by the Department of Correction, led to the discovery of Davis communicating with family and friends of inmates while on duty between May 1, 2018 and June 4, 2018. Further investigation led to the discovery that Davis was bringing in contraband to prisoners on his tier. Davis would make arrangements with the inmates' family and friends to obtain items and then bring them into the prison to distribute to the prisoners. These items included; coffee, sunflower seeds, workout supplements, food and crest white stripes. In exchange for these items, Davis would receive an undisclosed amount of cash directly deposited into a cash application by these family and friends.

It was also discovered that Davis would allow inmates access the State's computer when no other officers were around. Davis would also communicate with the inmates' family members on the computer while the inmates were standing with him. Davis also accessed the Delaware Automated Correctional System and obtained information on inmates that he would distribute to family members of the inmates.

Davis was subsequently arrested on Wednesday, June 6, 2018, at approximately 2:39 p.m. and taken into custody at the Sussex Correctional Institution. He was charged with Receiving a Bribe (Felony), Misuse of Computer System Information, 2 counts of Prison Contraband with Intent to Deliver, and Official Misconduct with Unauthorized Exercise of Official Functions. Davis was arraigned before the Justice of the Peace Court 2 and released on $8,000.00 unsecured bond.

These dirty officers always seem to think they are too smart to be caught. But they are wrong. Maybe not today, but they there is tomorrow to worry about. Inmates talk and will turn in a dirty officer and a deal will be made.

Now he got a felony rap sheet over some dumbass sunflower seeds. He probably didn't even make enough bribe money to cover his lawyer bills.

Amazing that Delaware Correctional Officers are always in the news for being crooked and Maryland Correctional Officers are always covered up and never / rarely in the news. MD CO's are just as crooked or worst. I speak from knowledge of such.

He's going to be performing his duties at the Sussex Correctional Institution with a mop and broom for the foreseeable future.
