KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A former corrections officer at the Jackson County Detention Center faces 14 months in federal prison for taking bribes to deliver illegal drugs to inmates. Twenty-seven-year-old Daniel Coach was sentenced Tuesday. He was ordered to repay $3,631 he received in bribes from March 2020 to March 2021. Prosecutors said Coach used the Cash App on a mobile phone to take bribes to smuggle drugs such as oxycodone, K2, fentanyl, Percocet, and ecstasy to inmates at the detention center. He was arrested after he took a $100 bribe from an undercover officer to deliver drugs to an inmate.
