Vermont State Police say a 33-year-old Rutland man has been charged with transporting contraband into a detention facility following an incident at the Marble Valley Correctional Center on April 4. According to police, correctional officers intercepted a suspicious package during visiting hours, leading to an investigation by the Vermont State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Department of Corrections.
The inquiry revealed that inmate Jacob Alberico allegedly received tobacco and marijuana, which were determined to be intended for personal use. Authorities have identified a female visitor connected to the incident, and materials are being prepared to request her arrest.
Alberico, who remains incarcerated for prior charges, is scheduled to appear in Rutland Criminal Court on May 18 at 10 AM. No bail was requested for this new charge. The allegations against him are currently under consideration, and the court date could be subject to change as the case progresses. Further updates regarding the investigation will be provided in future press releases.
