On Tuesday, a former jail kitchen manager was arrested for “Offense of Abuse of Office” in Franklinton, Louisiana. Tonya Butler, 45, resigned from her office in May before she was arrested. Here’s the scenario, Butler acquired the social security number and date of birth from an inmate to claim on Butler’s taxes. According to the Sheriff’s Department, Butler duped the inmate into believing she would pay her back once she got the income tax refund.

The inmate felt she had to cooperate because Butler had the authority to remove inmate workers from their kitchen duties. If the inmates did not comply then Butler would retaliate. Sheriff Rand Seal stated that he would have fired her on the spot, but she had already resigned a month earlier. Butler was released on a $10,000 bond after turning herself in.
