A Polk County jailer who was fired for violating policy was arrested last Friday on three misdemeanor counts of improper sexual contact.

18-year-old Jacob Lee Franklin was released on a $4,500 bond.

According to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office:

The GBI was called in to assist with an investigation after Franklin was immediately terminated on September 5 for passing notes to a female inmate.

According to the arrest warrants, Franklin is accused of kissing and fondling three different female inmates on September 5, 2023.
