Correctional Officer Dondiedra Anderson Arrested for Unlawful Use of Taser on Inmate


The Georgetown County Sheriff's Office said in a release Friday, that investigators arrested 22-year-old Dondiedra Anderson for unlawful use of a Taser on an inmate.

Anderson, a Georgetown County Detention Center Correctional Officer, was arrested as a result of an investigation conducted by Georgetown County Sheriff's Investigators Friday.

The sheriff's office says the investigation began on March 26, 2009 after receiving information from a Georgetown County Sheriff's Office employee who witnessed the incident that occurred during the afternoon hours of March 24, 2009.

The release says an inmate in the booking section of the detention center was beating on the door stating she needed to use the restroom. The sheriff's office says when Anderson asked why the inmate could not use the one in the cell, the inmate said the toilet was broken.

Officials say Anderson opened the cell, removed the inmate and went into the cell to access the situation. While in the cell, the inmate closed the cell door locking Anderson in the cell. When the door was opened by another correctional officer, Anderson exited the cell, grabbed the inmate and tased her.

Anderson has been fired from the Georgetown County Detention Center.

The sheriff's office says their investigation found that the Taser device was not used in accordance to policy and her actions were unlawful.

Anderson was arrested at the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office after turning herself in, and she was taken to the detention center.

She is currently being held at the detention center awaiting a bond hearing.
