A deputy jailer in Hardin County was arrested and suspended with pay after a fight with a sheriff’s deputy.
The Hardin County Jailer Danny Allen and Sheriff John Ward held a press conference on Wednesday (2/15) to address the incident. Deputy Jailer Joe Funk was arrested on Wednesday, February 8 after a dispute with Deputy Clennon Smith, who was turning over inmate property. Funk was suspended the next day.
Jailer Danny Allen said Funk was taken into custody but not placed in a cell because his status as a jail employee might have made him a target for other inmates. Funk is due in court on Friday (2/17).
