Deputy Mike Jones was named in a federal lawsuit filed by former employee Erica Cagle, alleging sexual harassment and a hostile work environment. Jones, along with Sergeant Brent Patterson, was accused of approaching Cagle in an offensive manner, massaging her shoulders, neck, and head without consent. The lawsuit described the physical contact as unwanted, humiliating, and demeaning. This case was one of several lawsuits filed against the Madison County Sheriff’s Office within a six-month period, highlighting systemic issues within the department.
