S.C. Jail Officers Fired After Inmates Found Drinking Alcohol

Two jail officers have been fired and charged with allowing contraband into the Chester County jail after inmates were found drinking alcohol.
Phillip Keith Doster, 23, and Renata Kay Gibson, 21, both of Chester, were arrested and released on Nov. 8, said sheriff's Lt. Billy Alley.
The alcohol was discovered Nov. 2. When officers performed breath tests on the inmates, several of them tested above the state's legal limit for driving.
The jail's director, Vickie Fairfax, also no longer works at the detention center, although officials would not say whether she left voluntarily or was fired. Fairfax left on Nov. 8 and is not charged in the case, officials said.
Sheriff Robby Benson said his department and the State Law Enforcement Division are investigating the incident.
