Two correction officers at the same jail, the same charge, the same week — and prosecutors say one of them turned her post into a courier route.
The courier
Diamond Davis worked inside the Westchester County Jail in Valhalla, New York. Prosecutors say her five weeks on the job were spent running errands for inmates: carrying messages between prisoners who couldn’t reach each other, and smuggling their paperwork out of the facility to people waiting on the street. At 33, she had held the post less than two months when investigators moved in.
The second arrest
Kimesha Foster, 47, was taken into custody at the jail on a Monday morning. She faces the same charge — promoting contraband — and appeared in Mount Pleasant Town Court the next day, where she pleaded not guilty. Davis is also charged with official misconduct, a count that speaks to what prosecutors allege: using the badge itself as the delivery service.
What investigators are still digging for
The District Attorney’s office says its investigation remains open, and has not ruled out more arrests. What hasn’t been detailed publicly: how many inmates were involved, who received the paperwork, and whether the messages described anything more serious than the contraband charge itself.
Why this one matters
Jail smuggling cases usually involve items tossed over a fence. This case describes the wall itself working against the facility — an officer allegedly carrying contraband past every checkpoint because the checkpoints were built to stop everyone else. Both women are presumed innocent until proven guilty, and both are due back in court as the case develops.
