A deputy sheriff assigned to the South Bay Correctional Facility was busted yesterday after he allegedly smuggled balloons filled with heroin into the jail - where many of the inmates are receiving drug treatment, prosecutors said.

Kenneth Nobile, 49, a 13-year veteran of the Suffolk Sheriff’s office, was cuffed about 6 a.m. yesterday as he walked into the jail wearing his uniform.

Investigators from the Suffolk District Attorney’s office drug unit recovered seven grams of heroin packaged in red and blue balloons, along with 21 grams of marijuana packed into a cylinder, said DA Dan Conley.

“He’s not above the law, and it doesn’t matter what uniform he is wearing - he is a drug dealer, and he is going to be prosecuted like one,”he said last night.

Conley said a public servant giving drugs to inmates, who are largely behind bars for crimes committed while under the influence, is an outrageous violation of public trust.

“Many of these inmates are drug-addicted and drug-dependent, and they are getting rehabilitative services in that place. For a corrections officer to be feeding the habits of inmates is deplorable conduct,” Conley said. “He discredited his badge and his oath.”

Nobile, who lives in Revere, was hit with drug charges that carry the possibility of a decade behind bars, along with a charge of delivering narcotics to an inmate in a correctional facility, which carries an additional seven-year sentence.

He was held on $25,000 cash bail by Boston Municipal Court Judge Mark Summerville. His attorney, Richard Stewart, could not be reached last night.

Nobile is the second law enforcement officer arrested on drug-related charges this month.

Boston Police officer Jose Antonio Ortiz, a 21-year veteran of the police force, was arrested in Revere with four kilos of cocaine he allegedly extorted from a Boston man on behalf of Colombian drug dealers, prosecutors said.

A spokesman for Suffolk Sheriff Andrea Cabral did not return calls for comment last night about Nobile’s arrest

I'm a firm believer in due-process and a fair trial. But if these charges are true, I hope this guy gets every inch of that which he has coming...
He put the lives of his co-workers and the law enforcement community at risk as well as the general public as a whole. If this is true, he's shit and needs to go down.

News reports say that if he is convicted on all counts he could be sentenced to 17 to 20 years which is just about right.
