Jailer Resigns After One Week On Job
KENTUCKY...
It didn't take long for the new Whitley County jailer to realize that he wouldn't be able to keep his campaign promises.
He said the financial situation at the jail was "beyond being fixed" and he felt it'd be better to "leave it the way I found it."
Moses said he had wanted to start programs for drug rehabilitation and job placement.
Judge-Executive Pat White appointed former jailer Ken Mobley as a replacement. Mobley acknowleged the jail budget is tight, but said jails across the state are facing similar circumstances.
