A correction officer at Cayuga Correctional Facility was arrested Friday following a drug investigation, according to New York State Police.
Gregory S. Gorman, 30, of Moravia, was taken into custody after a joint investigation with the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision.
Investigators said a narcotics detection canine alerted to drugs on Gorman when he reported for duty around 6:54 a.m.
A search found approximately 28.2 grams of cocaine and about 10.3 grams of heroin packaged in roughly 50 paper sleeves.
Authorities said a consent search of his vehicle uncovered an additional 0.4 grams of cocaine.
Gorman was charged with two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, three counts of first-degree promoting prison contraband, fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, official misconduct and second-degree promoting prison contraband.
He was transported to the Cayuga County Jail and held pending centralized arraignment.
