A former Washington County Detention Center sergeant was arrested Wednesday after being accused of assaulting an inmate earlier this year, according to a press release from Sheriff Ed Graybeal.
Shannon Lee Kinley, 44, was fired after an investigation. He was indicted by a grand jury presentment on charges of simple assault, official misconduct, and official oppression. He was booked into the Detention Center Wednesday and released on a $10,000 bond.
According to Graybeal, the investigation began after Kinley was alleged to have used âunnecessary force against an inmate and subsequently failed to properly document the event as per sheriffâs office policy.â
