The Green Hill School employee who allegedly placed a food order for an inmate on March 30 that was intercepted and found to contain 1.3 pounds of THC concentrate has been arrested.
Nicholas Adam Judson, 40, of Centralia, was charged Wednesday, May 7, with one count each of second-degree accomplice liability introducing contraband, accomplice liability possession of marjuana with intent to manufacture or deliver, making a false or misleading statement to a public servant, third-degree introducing contraband and abuse of office.
He has been on administrative leave from Green Hill School since the incident occurred on March 30, Judson confirmed to Lewis County Superior Court Judge Joely Yeager on Wednesday.
The former Green Hill School employee who allegedly posed as a DoorDash driver and delivered the food order concealing the THC wax, Angel Marie Misner, 33, of Ethel, was arrested March 31 and charged April 1 in Lewis County Superior Court with one count each of possession of marijuana with intent to manufacture or deliver and second-degree attempted introducing contraband.
The incident was reported to the Chehalis Police Department at approximately 12:45 p.m. on March 30, according to police call logs.
Misner is accused of concealing 1.3 pounds of suspected THC concentrate inside a food order that she attempted to drop off for Judson, according to the news release.
At the time, the Chehalis Police Department stated, “That employee has been questioned and is cooperating with the ongoing investigation.”
The woman who arrived “to deliver the alleged order was allowed to enter the facility,” according to court documents.
The woman, who was wearing a white hoodie and carrying a white bag, was “recognized by two employees as Angel Misner” when she entered the facility, according to court documents.
Misner was reportedly confronted by a Green Hill School employee who knew her.
When confronted, Misner reportedly dropped the bag and left the facility.
Judson allegedly came to pick up the bag and told the other employees that it was a DoorDash order for him, according to charging documents filed Wednesday.
Another staff member reportedly asked Judson to show him the receipt for the purchase. Judson allegedly refused to do so.
The other staff member then reportedly asked Judson to open the bag and open the burrito wrapper.
“The bag was inspected, and it contained a large burrito that had been cut into two pieces. Inside the burrito were two large bricks of what officers recognized, based on their training and experience, to be THC wax,” the Lewis County Prosecutor’s Office stated in charging documents filed Wednesday.
When Judson opened the burrito, he allegedly “grabbed the two bricks,” despite the other employee telling him not to touch them.
According to charging documents filed in Misner’s case, Judson had said he made a DoorDash purchase of a burrito on his phone for one of his students, claiming “he did not know what was in the burrito and the order was placed as he had lost a bet with one of the students.”
Judson allegedly reported that he possibly “allowed it to be ordered on his phone” and did not place the order himself.
“Judson confirmed he did not know who (the student) actually called,” the Lewis County Prosecutor’s Office stated in charging documents filed Wednesday.
When asked why he did not provide a receipt when asked, Judson allegedly “said he knew that he was not supposed to get stuff for the inmates,” according to court documents.
After a Chehalis Police Department officer seized his phone and asked Judson if “there would be communications found regarding other instances of getting items for inmates,” Judson allegedly admitted that inmates would pay him for bringing candy into Green Hill School for them.
He allegedly confirmed he had received approximately $267 via Cash App for items he purchased for inmates.
During a subsequent interview with an officer, Judson allegedly admitted that the inmate he ordered food for on March 30 had previously paid him $150 for candy. Judson allegedly purchased the candy for $50 and made a $100 profit, according to court documents.
Judson allegedly reported that family members of the inmates would send him the money, and that he had closed his CashApp account when his wife found out about it two to three weeks prior.
While Judson allegedly told investigators that he had not ordered food for inmates prior to March 30, an detective reportedly reviewed “several videos” of security footage from Green Hill School dated March 16 to March 30 showing at least three instances where a delivery person believed to be Misner delivered food to Judson at Green Hill School.
“It was now apparent to the detective that Judson had made false statements to him during earlier interviews,” the Lewis County Prosecutor’s Office states in charging documents.
When a detective interviewed Judson on May 6 and “confronted him with this new information,” Judson allegedly “said he ‘forgot’ about the other instances until recently.” He allegedly admitted to three instances of ordering food for inmates.
When asked why he did not tell the detective earlier, Judson allegedly “stated he did not want it to look bad upon himself,” according to court documents.
Judson was arrested and booked into the Lewis County Jail at 3:20 p.m. on May 6, according to jail records.
Due to his lack of criminal history, Yeager ruled Wednesday, May 7, to allow Judson to be released on $20,000 unsecured bail.
“I think some form of security is important, rather than a personal recognizance release, given the abuse of office allegation and the concern for interfering with the administration of justice,” Yeager said Wednesday.
Arraignment is scheduled for Thursday, May 15.
Misner has pleaded not guilty to all charges against her and is scheduled for trial to begin July 2.
She was still in custody at the Lewis County Jail on $100,000 bail as of Wednesday afternoon.
Misner was fired from Green Hill School in July 2024 when she was arrested on alleged custodial sexual misconduct, tampering with a witness, introducing contraband, money laundering and abuse of office charges.
She was ultimately acquitted on all but the abuse of office charge following a non-jury trial on Jan. 21, 2025.
She was sentenced Jan. 23 to 364 days in jail with credit for 183 days served. The remaining 181 days were suspended for 24 months, meaning Misner would not have to serve any of that jail time so long as she followed her conditions of release, which include no additional law violations.
She was released from the Lewis County Jail following her sentencing hearing on Jan. 23, according to previous Chronicle reporting.
Misner was one of seven Green Hill School corrections employees who were charged or referred on charges for alleged crimes that took place at the facility in 2024, according to previous Chronicle reporting.
So far, Misner is the only one of those seven employees to have been convicted on a criminal charge. One case resulted in acquittal in a non-jury trial, one case was dismissed without prejudice, one was ultimately not charged and three were still active as of Wednesday afternoon.
The most recent thwarted attempt to smuggle drugs into Green Hill School was reported on Dec. 23, 2024, when staff “successfully intercepted a football filled with drugs that were thrown over the fence,” according to previous Chronicle reporting.
Earlier that month, Green Hill School announced that it was in the process of implementing new security restrictions aimed at combating the smuggling of contraband into the facility, including increasing the volume of searches, reducing numbers of visitors and limiting what staff, contractors and visitors can bring onto campus.
The announcement came in the wake of a series of eight medical emergencies within two weeks that involved contraband at the facility, according to previous Chronicle reporting.
