JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The video attached to this story is from a previous, unrelated story.
A Baker County Detention Center staff member was arrested Friday on charges of disclosing confidential criminal justice information and two counts of introduction of contraband into a detention facility. Police said the arrest is part of an ongoing investigation into this facility.
Evelyn Rhodes, 58, is a control room employee of several years.
She is accused of developing an inappropriate relationship with an inmate. Police say she provided the inmate with illegal contraband and told them "privileged information" only accessible to an employee of the Baker County Sheriff's Office.
Police said Rhodes sharing this information directly interferes with a criminal investigation.
“This arrest is disturbing and disappointing as this individual was trusted to serve and protect the citizens of Baker County and failed us. I am committed to the safety and security of both staff and inmates within the BCDC," Baker County Sheriff Scotty Rhoden said.
