Detention officers arrested in Portales

Two Roosevelt County Detention Center officers have been arrested for bringing contraband to inmates at the detention center, court records show.

Officer Daejon Rae Coronado, 20, and Heather Brockman, 34, were reported by Lt. Danion Rich for bringing contraband to the jail. According to the report, video footage shows Coronado delivering contraband to inmate Dylan Hendron.

The investigation led to a subsequent shakedown of Hendron’s room and bunk, where RCDC officers found two syringes and suspected suboxone, which is a controlled substance. There were also jail phone calls that revealed the suspects were using CashApp to facilitate drug payments to Coronado for delivery, records show.

We’ll have more information in Sunday’s newspaper.
