A Florida jail security officer has been placed on administrative leave after a woman visitor got past an X-ray machine carrying a gun. That led to the closure of two Clayton County courts last week. Sheriff Victor Hill said the unidentified woman entered about 9:30 p.m. and left before the lone deputy at a 24-hour checkpoint noticed the image of the pistol scanned as she went in. Hill said the woman "came for a jail visit, and the deputy was inattentive to his duties." He said she got as far as the lobby and was called back because she was not in compliance with a dress code for jail visitors. Hill had deputies search the entire courthouse as a precaution. He said there was no breach of courtroom security, and the judges didn't have to shut down the courts. Courts administrator said that because it wasn't certain that the woman didn't leave the gun inside, the judges were concerned because the courthouse is connected with the jail. |
