HARTFORD, Conn. — A Connecticut corrections officer was arrested this week for allegedly sending a harassing email.
Connecticut state troopers were dispatched to MacDougall Walker Correctional Institution in Suffield to investigate a suspicious email that was sent to the maximum-security prison’s warden and the Attorney General’s Office.
An investigation uncovered that the email was sent by Tewh Sunday Torbor, 55, of Vernon, who is a corrections officer at the jail.
According to the arrest warrant, Torbor admitted to investigators that he sent the email and was taken into custody. He was charged with harassment in the second degree.
The contents of the email were not immediately released.
Torbor was released on a $5,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear at Hartford Superior Court on Friday.
