Campbell County, TN (WOKI) A former Campbell County Corrections Officer is arrested Monday, July 24 following an indictment for bringing contraband into the county jail.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says 43 year-old Michael McCarty had been the subject of investigation since March when it was determined that he “used his position as a corrections officer to bring contraband into the Campbell County Jail to give inmates in exchange for payments.”

McCarty was fired when his department learned of the misconduct.

The Campbell County Grand Jury indicted McCarty with two counts of official misconduct on Friday. He was arrested Monday by the LaFollette Police Department and booked in the Campbell County Jail on a $10,000 bond.
