As 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS previously reported, Dunblazier was a community corrections officer in Anoka County. She was put under investigation after her husband reached out to the Anoka County Jail Administrator, informing them that he had found text messages between Dunblazier and an inmate.

The text messages reportedly alluded to an ongoing sexual relationship between the two while the inmate was on work release.

Dunblazier was placed on administrative leave during the investigation, but later resigned from her position. The county then turned the investigation over to Sherburne County to prevent conflicts of interest.

Sherburne County’s investigation later resulted in Dunblazier being charged with two counts of criminal sexual conduct in February.

Dunblazier later entered a guilty plea in August.
