A detention officer in Miller County is being charged with a Class E Felony of Sexual Conduct with a prisoner or offender by a jail employee.

The Miller County Sheriff’s Office says last week investigators were provided with information that a detention officer identified as Samuel Evans was having inappropriate contact with a female inmate.

The department says that Evans admitted to having the sexual contact with the female inmate while working.

Evans was arrested and is being held on a ten thousand dollar bond.
