Sergeant William McClure was arrested after an investigation revealed he engaged in sexual misconduct with inmates, including grabbing an inmate’s genitals, forcing the inmate’s face into his crotch, and soliciting sexual favors in exchange for favorable case outcomes. He also accepted a $200 bribe from an inmate’s mother for the inmate’s release. McClure faced multiple charges, including violation of civil rights, improper sexual activity in a jail, official oppression, bribery, and abuse of official capacity. He was allowed to use sick leave and resigned after charges were dropped as part of an agreement.
