Deputy involved in wrongful arrest – Clay County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In 2013, a Clay County deputy was disciplined after wrongfully arresting a 17-year-old high school student due to a name mix-up. The student spent over a month in jail charged as an adult in a sexual battery case before the mistake was discovered. The deputy received formal counseling for failing to confirm the suspect’s identity with a photo lineup, highlighting issues in investigative procedures.
