A newly formed Nashville Homeland Security Task Force has announced several criminal cases, including a federal indictment exposing a drug-smuggling operation inside CoreCivic’s Trousdale Turner Correctional Center, the Nashville Banner reports. The task force — a coalition of local, state and federal law enforcement agencies — was announced earlier this month and will work on cases involving violence and drug trafficking with ties to transnational criminal organizations. It also will focus on complex cases that expose systemic corruption and criminal networks operating within the state’s correctional system. In the Trousdale case, officials allege that an incarcerated man, his girlfriend and three correctional officers conspired to bring fentanyl, heroin and cocaine into the facility using contraband cell phones and Cash App transfers.
