NASSAU COUNTY, Fla.
A Nassau County Sheriff's Office employee was arrested Friday after an investigation of official misconduct, according to Sheriff Tommy Seagraves.
In March 2009, personnel from the Nassau County Detention Facility told the sheriff's office narcotics unit that a confidential informant had provided information about contraband being smuggled into the detention facility.
According to the sheriff's office, the informant said during the introduction of illegal narcotics into the detention facility, Deputy Cody Wayne Fling-Davis was present and did not act appropriately. The informant also stated that Flint-Davis also personally distributed illicit photographs to the inmates.
Video surveillance revealed that Flint-Davis was in view of inmates as they placed a bag in a mop bucket so that contraband could be brought into the detention facility. The video also showed Flint-Davis watching inmates making hand-to-hand transactions and making no attempt to take enforcement actions.
A release from the sheriff's office states, "prior to a planned mock fire drill that Flint-Davis was aware of, Flint-Davis could be seen huddled up with an inmate having a private conversation as the pod was being evacuated as if he was warning the inmate of an impending 'shake down.'"
The sheriff stated that after an interview, Flint-Davis confessed to informing the inmates of the mock fire drill and that he distributed illicit photographs to the inmates.
Flint-Davis resigned from the sheriff's office during his interview with internal affairs.
He was arrested and booked into Nassau County Detention Facility on charges of official misconduct, disclose or use of confidential criminal justice information, failure to perform duty required by an officer and failure of person to discharge his or her duty.
