A former deputy with the Alexandria Sheriff’s Office, Amarachukwu W. Igwe, has been dismissed and taken into custody after allegedly attempting to smuggle illegal drugs into a correctional facility in Virginia.

Authorities said Igwe, who was employed by the Sheriff’s Office in July 2025, was intercepted on April 4 while trying to bring narcotics into the Alexandria Adult Detention Center for delivery to an inmate. Investigators from the agency’s internal oversight unit uncovered the plan and acted before the substances could reach either the intended recipient or the wider inmate population.

Following her arrest, Igwe was transferred to the Arlington County Detention Facility, where she was processed and later appeared before a magistrate. She now faces multiple charges, including unlawful delivery of drugs to inmates, conspiracy to commit the same offense, and possession of a Schedule III controlled substance.

Sheriff Sean Casey confirmed that Igwe’s employment was terminated immediately after the incident came to light, emphasizing a strict stance against misconduct within the department.

He praised the investigative team for stopping the act before it could threaten the safety of staff and detainees, adding that any breach of public trust would be met with serious consequences.

The case is still under investigation.
