Police investigate drug smuggling at jail

RUTLAND—Bureau of Criminal Investigations detectives with the state police have finished a 30-day investigation of an incident that occurred in March at the Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility.

On March 19, 20-year-old Emma Decubellis was caught by corrections officers attempting to smuggle the pain-relieving drug buprenorphine into the jail for inmate Randy Babcock during visiting hours. Detectives learned that Babcock and inmate Steven Sedotto had been collaborating with Decubellis and another Rutland resident, Jennifer Boule, in an attempt to smuggle drugs into the jail.

All four are to be charged with transporting regulated drugs into places of detention. Babcock is scheduled to appear in the Rutland Superior Court Criminal Division on May 22. Sedotto, Boule and Decubellis are scheduled to appear in the Rutland Superior Court Criminal Division on June 5.
