Barrow jail officer charged in drug sting
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A Barrow County jail officer was arrested Thursday after he bought a small quantity of hyrdocodone from an undercover sheriff's deputy, the Sheriff's Office said.
Jeremy Robert Haney, 30, of Bethlehem had worked at the jail supervising inmates for 18 months. He is charged with purchasing a controlled substance, conspiracy to purchase a controlled substance and violation of his oath of office.
"We are committed to providing excellent law enforcement services to our citizens and out-of-county guests," Sheriff Jud Smith said. "We hold our employees to the highest of standards and will not tolerate any criminal activity whatsoever."
Acting on a tip, the Sheriff's Office set up an undercover operation that led to Haney's arrest.
Haney was arrested without incident and is being held at an undisclosed location.
