Officers arrested an Alabama prison guard Thursday and charged her with using her official position for personal gain and attempting to commit a controlled substance crime, the third guard arrest this month.

Officers arrested Ebony Chillous and transported her to the Montgomery jail, said Kelly Betts, an official with the state prison system. Chillous resigned from her position with Staton Correctional Facility.

On Jan. 9, the Alabama Department of Correction’s Law Enforcement Services Division arrested Eli Charlie DeRamus and Bunion Thomas for use of official position for personal gain. Officials transported them to the Elmore County Jail, Betts said.

DeRamus and Thomas resigned their positions at the Elmore Correctional Facility, she said.
