The GBI has arrested Georgia Department of Corrections Warden Brian Dennis Adams, age 48, of Waycross, and charged him with Conspiracy to Violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (Georgia RICO Act), Bribery, False Statements and Violation of Oath by Public Officer.
Adams was terminated prior to his arrest on Wednesday, February 8, 2023 and is currently in the Tattnall County Jail. Â
Investigators say they found Weeks was involved with the smuggling of contraband into Smith State Prison. Investigators also have linked the corruption case to the murder.
“It is extremely important to note, however, that Adams’ actions do not reflect the hundreds of Officers, Wardens and other staff who are committed each and every day to ensuring the safety of the public and the safe operations of our facilities,” added Oliver.
Adams was booked into the Tattnall County Jail.
Weekes was already serving time in the Georgia prison system on a 2010 armed robbery conviction.
