TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS - A Texas prison guard faces being thrown in the same jail he guarded after running an illegal chicken wing pipeline to inmates for money.

Amos Nyanway, 25, has been charged with contraband in a correctional facility after allegedly giving inmates at the Travis County Jail chicken wings in exchange for money.

During a separate investigation, the Travis County Sheriff's Office said on August 21 an officer with the Security Threat Intelligence Unit discovered an officer may have provided contraband to an inmate, TCSO said in a release.

The contraband was discovered to have been the chicken wings, according to TCSO.

Bringing contraband into a jail in Texas is considered a Class B Misdemeanor.

Nyanway was subsequently placed on administrative leave during the investigation.

The corrections officer and former US Army soldier had been employed with the sheriff's office since June 17 of last year.

Nyanway was fired on October 14, according to the release.
