Steven Goode – Baxter County Sheriff’s Office

In April 2019, Sergeant Steven Goode was accused of sexually assaulting fellow jailer Tabatha L. King while moving inmate mattresses. King alleged that Goode threatened her to remain silent about the incident. She also reported that Goode sent her unwanted, sexually explicit photos and that he sent similar images to other female employees. King claimed that these actions were condoned by the sheriff’s office. Goode denied the allegations. The case led to a federal lawsuit filed by King in December 2021, which is still pending as of February 2024.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
