In August 2015, Deputy Alana Simpson-Hogan was present during an incident where excessive force was used on an inmate. She failed to report the use of force and omitted critical details in her report, which investigators believed was an attempt to minimize the adverse impact of the truth. Simpson-Hogan was found guilty of gross misconduct and was terminated in February 2017. She filed a wrongful termination lawsuit, which was dismissed in December 2018.
