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.

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.
