Former Inmate Arrested In Fountain Prison Contraband Investigation
August 18, 2026
An ongoing investigation into illegal contraband intended for Fountain Correctional Facility in Atmore has led to the arrest of a former inmate and the seizure of drugs and cash in Montgomery.
According to the Alabama Department of Corrections (ADOC), law enforcement agents executed a search warrant at a residence in Montgomery. The operation was part of an active probe stemming from an arrest made several weeks ago involving contraband believed to be destined for the Fountain facility.
Intelligence and evidence gathered during that initial case led investigators directly to the Montgomery home. During the search, agents seized approximately 19 pounds of marijuana and $30,000 in cash.
Former inmate Patrick O’Neal Perry, identified as the occupant of the home, was taken into custody without incident. Perry was charged with Trafficking Marijuana and booked into the Montgomery County Detention Facility.
The search warrant was executed by agents with the ADOC Narcotics Unit, K-9 Division, and Law Enforcement Services Division, with assistance from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) SWAT Team.
