Former Jailer Indicted By Grand Jury

A former corrections officer at the Coffee County Jail was indicted last week by the Coffee County Grand Jury on charges of bribery of a public servant and official misconduct.
Jo Nannette Cole, 46, of Hillsboro was indicted for taking tobacco into the jail and then charging $150 to deliver it to inmates in the cell block area.
Cole is scheduled to be arraigned Feb 18 in Coffee County Circuit Court.
The case against the former jailer was investigated by Sgt. Danny Ferrell of the Coffee County Sheriff’s Department.
