An officer at the Lincoln County Detention Center in Carrizozo was arrested late February 4 on a charge of criminal sexual penetration in a March 2000 incident involving an inmate. Albert Venegas, a criminal investigations agent with the Las Cruces office of the New Mexico State Police conducted the investigation and obtained the arrest warrant for Robert MacKenzie on the second-degree felony charge. The officer was booked and then released on a $10,000 unsecured bond. The jail is operated for the county by Correctional Systems Inc., a California-based company. All but four of the staff members are employed by CSI. The rest are county employees. County Manager Tom Stewart said Thursday that CSI had also conducted its own investigation and that he felt the company had handled the 'regrettable situation' properly. According to the affidavit filed by Venegas in Magistrate Court in Carrizozo, MacKenzie, 56, who lives in that town, is accused of engaging in a sex act while in a position of authority over an inmate on March 4, 2002. |
