BLOOMING GROVE, Pa. – In a shocking development, authorities have apprehended a 39-year-old Pike County Correctional Officer, Michael T. Spensieri, on Friday morning, accusing him of smuggling drugs into the jail. The arrest follows an intensive investigation conducted by state police, who discovered compelling evidence during a search of Spensieri’s vehicle.

During the search, investigators unearthed a significant amount of “contraband” and money that was evidently used in controlled drug purchases. The discovery has raised concerns about the integrity of the correctional facility’s security measures.

It remains uncertain at this point whether Spensieri has retained legal representation. As the investigation unfolds, authorities are diligently working to gather all available information to ensure a fair and thorough examination of the case.

The investigation into this incident is ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone with relevant information to come forward. The Pike County district attorney’s office can be reached at 570-296-3485, while the state police’s Vice Unit can be contacted at 570-963-3156. Cooperation from the public is crucial in bringing justice to this case and maintaining the safety and security of the community.
