Sometimes the people who are supposed to be keeping contraband out are the very ones bringing it in.
On Thursday, April 9, the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office announced that a narcotics investigation by the Guilford County Narcotics Task Force resulted in the arrest of a detention officer who had been working inside the High Point jail.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, 31-year-old Christopher Aleman – who had been employed as a Guilford County Sheriff’s Office Detention Services Officer for about nine months – was taken into custody following the investigation.
Officials said Aleman has, not surprisingly, been terminated from his position.
The investigation found that Aleman was allegedly in possession of approximately 57 grams of methamphetamine while on duty inside the High Point Detention Center.
Authorities also reported that he had other contraband on the premises.
That’s a serious allegation in any setting, but, inside a jail, it raises even more concerns – since that’s exactly the kind of activity detention officers are supposed to prevent.
Now he’s an inmate rather than a guard: Aleman is being held at the Guilford County Detention Center in downtown Greensboro and is facing multiple felony charges – including two counts of trafficking methamphetamine, felony possession with intent to sell or distribute a Schedule II controlled substance, and felony possession of a controlled substance on jail premises.
Initially, Aleman was given a $500,000 secured bond.
However, after his first court appearance, that bond was reduced to $100,000 secured.
His court date is scheduled for June 9, 2026, at 9 a.m.
The Guilford County Narcotics Task Force, which handled the investigation, is a joint effort that includes the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office, Greensboro Police Department, North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, and the federal Drug Enforcement Administration.
Officials say the case remains an ongoing investigation, and they are not releasing any additional details at this time.
i told you skip is laundering drug money! this guy was probably his big inside guy running the trade in the slammers…
Stupid comments aside..The individual is not a guard, He was a detention officers..In NC guards are civilians registered under NCGS 74C to work in security industry. The individual pictured worked for county government enforcement of criminal law. Please dont insult security guards by equating them with law enforcement officers who spit on their oath.
do u think he used meth ? are detention officers drug tested occasionally ? was he an effective, reliable LOW PAY employee ? should ‘X’ be available to prisoners if it safely helps ‘motivate’ them.? ‘soma’ ? the ‘feelies’ are more insidious & damaging to human consciousness – they all have on/off buttons that get ‘stuck’ ON. humans constant craving for recreation, entertainment, novelty, pleasure, prestige, love, $ . . . occurs in jails
“JAIL GUARD” is a very bad terminology used to describe detention officers, correctional officers, etc… These officers usually do a job that no one really wants! Just like police, sheriff’s, special agents, etc… Law enforcement officers usually get a bad reputation because of a few bad apples. Considering the current pay and lackluster background checks, I’m not surprised.
Markl you have serious issues. I think you need to go to that Jack Nicholson was sent in

i read the book n saw the movie when teen aged. consider how easy it is for hollywood etc to create ‘meme’ ‘trope’ that quickly impacts behavior in > people. evangelists are experts elvis was expert doing this social engineering ‘brave new world’ sans bravery
What the hell are you saying
I’m curious as to why this Detention Officer has not been terminated. Any response from Cowboy Danny or the DUI driving spokesperson from the Sheriff’s Office, Scott
It’s my understanding that he has been terminated as an employee. Scott
Easy there Sparky, I’m sure hes no longer employed. Besides that, Sheriff’s Training & Standards in Raleigh will revoke his certification.
DUIs have been overlooked for decades. Even more so if you have XX chromosomes and certain attributes that are pleasing to the eye. That’s nothing new in Guilford County. I’ve seen deputies ride bicycles to work & get dressed in the locker room before starting their shift in positions that didn’t require driving. This wasn’t recent, and it wasn’t a one time occurrence. Frankly, once they worked through those tough times, they turned out to be better deputies than many of their peers.
you could play the role of the mental hospital psychiatrist with your perfect comment !
Seen 1st, it sounds as if you may have been a beneficiary of that oversight. I personally have a low respect for someone who wears a badge and is still able to be a “law enforcement officer “ after a DUI conviction especially while driving a Sheriffs Department vehicle. Cowboy Danny is a good example as well as Ms. Evans
we are discussing the film & prose ‘canon’ – it’s sort of like comparing lexington,smithfield, texas barbeque
