An Ohio sheriff’s deputy and two corrections officers are out of their jobs after wrestling inmates in a county jail, the Lancaster Eagle-Gazette reported.
Fairfield County Sheriff Alex Lape revealed that the three staff — Deputy Shawn Pettit and corrections officers Landon Talbott and Kyle Archibald — “staged matches with three inmates” in June, in response to the newspaper.
Pettit and Archibald resigned earlier than their disciplinary hearings and Talbott was terminated after his listening to, Lape stated. Talbott filed a grievance following the termination.
One other corrections officer, Kayla Doss, obtained a 10-day unpaid suspension for not reporting the incident shortly sufficient, in response to Lape.
“In 30 years I assumed I’d seen nearly every thing. I noticed that video and I stated you’ve obtained to be kidding,” Lape stated. “I don’t know whether or not [the employees] took the bait of the problem from the inmates. I don’t know. I couldn’t get actually a direct reply on that.”
Lape told WBNS-TV that there have been no accidents among the many wrestlers and the opponents shook arms and hugged each other following the matches.

The sheriff, who referred to as the wrestling “ridiculous,” stated the matches happened over a span of 10 minutes and he believed the scenario occurred just one time on the county jail.
Lape requested the county prosecutor’s workplace to research the wrestling, he stated.
“It’s fairly apparent you’ll be able to see how [the wrestling] might have gone dangerous in 100 alternative ways,” stated Lape. “As I stated, it’s unacceptable conduct and it’s not going to be tolerated.”
The sheriff’s workplace stated the concerned inmates have since been despatched to a state jail, WBNS-TV reported.
