Da’Vante Bolton, who has worked for the Administration for Children’s Services since March 2020, pleaded guilty Tuesday to accepting more than $20,000 in bribes from detainees at Crossroads Juvenile Detention Center in exchange for bringing razor blades and marijuana into the facility. He faces up to 10 years in prison.
