WENATCHEE, Wash. (AP) — A corrections deputy working in the Chelan County Regional Justice Center has been arrested on suspicion of taking bribes and allowing fast food and chewing tobacco into the jail in Wenatchee.

The Wenatchee World reports 40-year-old Charles B. Storlie was booked Tuesday into the Grant County Jail. He was released after posting $5,000 bail.

County officials say he is being investigated for bribery, bringing contraband into the jail, forgery, complicity to escape and official misconduct.

Wenatchee Police officer Richard Johnson says Storlie has admitted to allowing contraband into the annex and taking money for it on at least one occasion.

Storlie has been a corrections deputy in the Wenatchee jail since 1995. He is on paid administrative leave. When contacted at his home by the Wenatchee World, Storlie referred questions to his attorney.
