WABAUNSEE COUNTY, Kan. (KSNW) - A former Wabaunsee County Jail correctional officer was arrested on Sunday.

According to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, the 48-year-old man was arrested for one count of mistreatment of a confined person after turning himself in to authorities.

On May 28, the Wabaunsee County Sheriff’s Office contacted the KBI for assistance after learning a correctional officer had reportedly been taking money from an inmate for personal use since March.

The man was terminated from the Wabaunsee County Jail in June.
