Police officer accused of assaulting prisoner at hospital
Healthcare Security Weekly, December 12, 2005
Authorities charged a Michigan county sheriff deputy with second-degree criminal sexual conduct for allegedly sexually assaulting a female inmate he was guarding at Foot Hospital in Jackson, MI, reports the Jackson Citizen Patriot.
Tyler Jeffries was guarding the patient because the jail was short-staffed and unable to send a corrections officer to the hospital when the inmate complained of a medical ailment.
Details of the incident are not yet known, but the inmate reported the assault last week to a nurse, who turned the findings over to hospital security and the police.
Prosecutors say there is enough evidence that the assault took place to charge Jeffries and terminate his employment.
