YOUNGSTOWN — A Northeast Ohio Correctional Center correctional officer is charged in a four-count information for his alleged role in a scheme to smuggle contraband into the lockup in return for bribery payments.

Terry Terrigno, 30, of Canfield, is charged with one count each of providing narcotics, marijuana and tobacco to inmates and one count of accepting bribes.

According to court documents, from February 2017 to July 2019, Terrigno allegedly smuggled suboxone, marijuana and tobacco to NEOCC prison inmates in return for electronic bribery payments made through a mobile phone application.

NEOCC is at 2240 Hubbard Road, Youngstown.

This case was investigated by the Cleveland FBI and the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General, and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Justin Seabury Gould.

An information is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. If convicted, the defendant’s sentence will be determined by the court after a review of factors unique to this case, including the defendant’s prior criminal record, if any, the defendant’s role in the offenses and the characteristics of the violation.
