ELKHORN -- A plea agreement is expected in the criminal case of a former Walworth County correctional officer accused of having a relationship with an inmate and illegally passing him a greeting card.

Ellen L. Madl, 49, of 616 N. Wisconsin St., Elkhorn, is in plea negotiations with the state to resolve the felony charge of delivering illegal articles to an inmate, defense attorney Christopher Kuehn said this morning in Walworth County Court.

Madl was bound over for trial after waiving her right to a preliminary hearing.

She then pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Madl remains free on $1,000 signature bond.

She is expected in court next on Wednesday, Oct. 8.
