Big Sandy Considers Firing Administrator
KENTUCKY....
During a specially called meeting Thursday, the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center's oversight board considered whether to fire its administrator, Henry "Butch" Williams. A January trial date has been scheduled for Williams after bribery charges brought earlier this year accuse him of accepting a pickup truck as payment for having an inmate transferred. Jail board member Jim Kelly, of Johnson County, says there are other reasons to fire Williams. Kelly says Williams "failed to keep the board informed" of reprimand against guard Doug Muncy, who was charged with misdemeanor sexual abuse of an inmate in January. Kelly said Williams took unauthorized action to cut checks for construction design work under a contract with Frankfort contractor Kenar, leaving the jail facing a $1.5 million suit. The discussion was tabled until next week.
