According to KETK and its news partner, the Longview News Journal, the moves come after a week-long investigation revealed misuse of Taser devices at the jail. The employees reportedly used the Tasers on each other in acts of horseplay, which officials term a direct violation of Sheriff’s office policies and procedures.
