A former Wabaunsee County correctional officer has been arrested following a probe by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.

Authorities say 48-year-old Jeffery Patrick turned himself in Sunday at the Pottawatomie County Sheriff’s Office. He was arrested on a charge of mistreatment of a confined person.

The KBI says the Wabaunsee County Sheriff’s Office asked for help in May after learning a correctional officer may have been taking money from an inmate for personal use. The alleged incidents happened between March and May at the Wabaunsee County Jail, where Patrick worked until he was fired in June.

Patrick was booked into the Pottawatomie County Jail. Investigators say no further details are being released.
