Marion County Jail Officials Mistakenly Release Another Inmate

A convicted felon scheduled to return to prison to serve a 20-year sentence was instead mistakenly released by Marion County Jail officials. Levi Garrett was to begin serving a sentence for dealing meth, auto theft and resisting law enforcement according to WRTV. For reasons that are unclear, jail officials released Garrett on Monday and he's currently at large. The Sheriff's Office declined to comment on the mistaken release of Garrett, citing an ongoing investigation. The mistaken release of inmates has been a recurring problem at the jail in recent years.

Perhaps it's the fault of those "highly-trained" non-merit deputies who all seem to have fully-equipped Dodge Chargers so they can pretend they have patrol duties in Marion County.

Or maybe he dealt drugs with Sheriff Layton's son?

Sheriff John has no idea how to manage anything in public service. His entire career has been spent using his police powers working for private sector interests in order to finance his personal debt reduction fund. He promotes jail supervisors by campaign contributions not by competence. He abhors the idea of training for jail management and has driven off the employees that were educated beyond the 12th grade(mental competition?). He just can't seem to concentrate on the job that the people elected him to do. Wake up people!
