Lawmaker Claims DOC Covered Up Drunk Driving Incident

State Senator John O. Jones is calling for a thorough investigation into the state's Department of Corrections, claiming it's filled with corruption and cover-ups. He says one cover-up involves a corrections officer at Graham Correctional Center who was never reprimanded for driving drunk.

DOC Spokesperson Stacey Solano denies the allegations of a cover-up. She says Beck's father contacted DOC leadership within hours of the incident to alert them of the issue and let them know he would have no role in the investigation. Solano says the department will allow the criminal portion of the case to conclude before they decide on any disciplinary action.
