A Brazos County jail employee has been fired.
Sheriff Chris Kirk announced the termination of the unidentified 51 year old woman, who’s been a jailer since February 2009.
Kirk says the woman violated department policy by having an improper relationship with an inmate. The jailer has ten days to appeal the sheriff’s action.
Kirk says the internal investigation began after the former inmate called the jail to report the relationship with the now-former officer.
The sheriff says the inmate provided the officer with a phone number to contact him upon his release. The officer contacted the inmate two days after his release and subsequently developed a personal relationship.
The sheriff says there was no evidence that inappropriate activity occurred in the facility.
