In February 2022, Detention Officer Pyle was investigated for allegedly introducing contraband into the Columbia County Detention Facility. Placed on administrative leave, Pyle left Florida during the investigation. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement conducted a criminal investigation, leading to Pyle’s arrest in Illinois. He was extradited to Florida, booked into the Columbia County jail with a $105,000 bond, and subsequently moved to a neighboring facility. Sheriff Mark Hunter emphasized the commitment to holding employees to high ethical standards.
