Sheriff Susan Hutson, senior leadership and investigative personnel have initiated comprehensive reviews and if appropriate, said OPSO officials, the inmate will be rebooked on additional charges.
Women make up over 70% of the deputies in our jail. Even while facing severe understaffing, they show up every day and night with unwavering dedication. Their strength and service are essential to the operation of this facility, and we remain committed to fighting for increased pay and better working conditions for all our staff.
