The sheriff’s office said that, following an investigation into THC vapes and tobacco being smuggled into the jail during work hours, 18-year-old Andrew Bailey was arrested.

Sheriff Phil Sims said, “Whether you’re a deputy or a corrections officer, we are all in a position to uphold the law, work with integrity, and held to a higher standard. I will hold any officer or employee who abuses the publics trust accountable for their actions.”

Bailey has resigned from his position at the sheriff’s office. He will also be held in a different facility until his bond is set.
