Probation Officer Sydnie Maglaughlin Arrested for Theft, Possession

An eastern Oregon probation officer was arrested Thursday during an investigation by the Malheur County Sheriff's Office and the High Desert Drug Task Force.

Sydnie Maglaughlin, 36, of Nyssa was accused of possession of a controlled substance, third-degree theft and third-degree official misconduct, said a sheriff's spokeswoman. She posted $1,500 bail and was released from jail.

Maglaughlin was hired in 2004 as a corrections technician for the Malheur County Work Release Center, the sheriff's office said. She transferred to the probation office in 2006.

Maglaughlin is on administrative leave pending results of the investigation.
