Corrections Officer Michael Craven Accused of Protecting Inmate in Exchange for Tires

A former state corrections officer has been arrested and accused of protecting an inmate at his prison in exchange for four tires.

Michael L. Craven was a sergeant at Marion Correctional Institution north of Ocala. He is charged with unlawful compensation for official behavior.

Officials say an inmate's father purchased four tires in June and gave them to Craven in exchange for protecting his son while in jail.

Craven was released from the Marion County jail after posting a $5,000 bond.
