Corrections officer indicted in drug smuggling operation had lengthy discipline history
In January, ABC15 broke the story of a corrections officer at Lewis Prison who was arrested and accused of supplying inmates with drugs and contraband cellphones, according to court paperwork obtained.
Berman Comon was arrested on January 3, and court documents indicated detectives seized $83,000 worth of drugs that were smuggled into Lewis Prison, including fentanyl and heroin.
Comon worked as a counselor at Lewis Prison, with the official title of Correctional Officer III (COIII).
Now, through a public records request, ABC15 has learned Comon had a lengthy disciplinary history while employed with ADCRR, where he started in 2013.
In 2020, Comon was suspended for two days for watching movies and tv shows while on the job.
More seriously, in 2017, Comon was charged with neglect of duty and suspended for two weeks (80 hours) after an inmate died while Comon failed to complete necessary security checks or "observe that an assault was being carried out against" the inmate.

More than $175K in handmade Navajo jewelry stolen from Arizona family while visiting California
A Navajo family said hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Native American jewelry were stolen from their locked trailer while attending a Powwow in California.
Maryetta and Henry Jackson have been creating handmade jewelry for more than 50 years.
“It’s been part of us for all these years,” Maryetta Jackson said.
They decided to attend the Stanford Powwow for the first time over Mother’s Day weekend, driving from Flagstaff to San Jose, California.
“They’ve created these on their own, they’ve found their own style,” granddaughter Tracie Jackson said. “We use this work to help educate our community, to help educate non-natives.”
But before the event even started, Maryetta Jackson said they woke up to a nightmare Friday morning.
