Two PBSO corrections deputies resign after pleading to bringing drugs into main county jail

Two Palm Beach County corrections deputies implicated in allegations of smuggling drugs into the Palm Beach County Jail's main detention center have resigned, according to internal Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office documents.

They were two of three corrections deputies named in alleged smuggling operations that involved bringing drugs into the jail, which is located off Gun Club Road in suburban West Palm Beach. The third one has plead "not guilty."

Investigators monitored phone calls between an inmate and an outside party, with the conversations revealing code words that indicated the involvement of a law-enforcement officer in a drug operation, a PBSO report said.

Deputy Karl Kirkland, 58, submitted an affidavit to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and so did Deputy Samuel Pierre, 30.
