YOUNGSTOWN - Federal authorities have filed four charges alleging that a guard at a privately run prison in Youngstown had sex with an inmate and took bribes to smuggle a cell phone and tobacco into the prison.

A bill of information filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court claims that Barbara Davis engaged in sex with an unnamed inmate when she was a corrections officer at the Northeast Ohio Correctional Center on Hubbard road sometime during 2017 to 2018.

Investigators say Davis also took a bribe to smuggle a mobile phone and tobacco into the facility, which holds defendants for the U.S. Marshal’s office while awaiting trial.

The document does not specify the amount of the alleged drive, but court records say the case is related to the indictment of Bridgett Lumsden, who is accused of using mobile payments to transfer $20,550 to a NEOCC guard to smuggle phones into an inmate with whom Lumsden had a romantic relationship.

The Bill of Information charges Davis with sexual abuse of a ward, accepting bribes, as well as providing an inmate with a cell phone and tobacco.

Government attorneys customarily issue a bill of information instead of an indictment when there is a possibility that the defendant intends to plead guilty to the charges without going through a trial.
