JEFFERSON COUNTY, Ind. — Three inmates and a former corrections officer are facing charges after another inmate at the Jefferson County Jail in Indiana was battered in July 2019.

Investigators also said Jarrett improperly stored confiscated drugs and drug paraphernalia in her desk.
Jarrett faces charges of official misconduct and aiding/causing battery. Dukes and Spicer both face charges of battery, and Oneal faces a charge of aiding/causing battery.
All four will face initial court appearances soon.
