Montgomery County, TN – A former jail deputy with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office was indicted on charges of misconduct and sexual contact with an inmate.
Charles Edwards, 37, who gave a 131 West Drive Address, was booked on $15,000 bond today.
“As soon as the allegations were made against Edwards, we followed our established procedure by placing him on administrative leave with pay and began an internal investigation,” said Sheriff John Fuson.
Edwards did provide a confession during the investigation.
