A Marion County Jail supervisor was demoted, two detention deputies were disciplined and the sheriff s office changed some protocols after an 18-year-old inmate walked away from the lockup one afternoon in February.
Gessica Gonzalez was demoted from sergeant to detention deputy and suspended three days without pay, according to the Marion County Sheriff s Office, which operates the jail. Gonzalez had two agency violations sustained against her: release preparations and dereliction of duty.
Detention Assistant Betsy Iturrey was suspended for five days without pay for what officials called a violation of intake control. Detention Deputy Samantha Davis was suspended a day without pay for violating booking and release procedures.
