COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – A Hillsdale man entered into a plea agreement with prosecutors on Monday in Branch County Circuit Court after he was arrested in June for being in possession of illegal drugs while he was a corrections officer at the Lakeland Correctional Facility.
43-year-old Mark Everett Goodlock pled guilty to a charge of possession of methamphetamine.
In exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors dismissed a count of bringing contraband into a prison.
The plea agreement calls for a one year cap on jail time as well as probation. Sentencing is scheduled for November 18.
A search led to Goodlock’s arrest in June before the start of a shift by the Michigan State Police.
The State Police were requested by the Michigan Department of Corrections to assist with their investigation.
