JEFFERSON COUNTY, AL — A Jefferson County deputy has been accused of bringing contraband to an inmate at the Jefferson County Jail in Bessemer. Quindarus Reeves turned himself into authorities Thursday. An investigation discovered that Reeves brought gym shoes and a cell phone to an inmate who was housed in the facility, according to Sgt. Joni Money of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. "While this is not drugs or a weapon, it is against state law and the phone, in particular, places our personnel at risk," Sheriff Mark Pettway said. Reeves is charged with two counts of misdemeanor promoting prison contraband. He is on administrative leave from his position with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office in accordance with the dismissal process.
