Was reading the article about the Florence jailer getting prison time. Which made me wonder, what happened to the Colbert County jailer that was supplying phones and selling marijuana to the inmates? If I remember correctly, he had a good bit of dope in his car in the jail parking lot when they arrested him when he reported to work.

Did this case get resolved or covered up and buried? Anyone know? I do know his family has ties to the "up-and-ups" at the sheriff's office as well as the DA's office. The young man was on his way to be a Alabama State Trooper when the arrest occured.

Was able to do some digging and what do ya know! It was buried and never heard about again. You'd think. s h o a l s i n s i d e r  or some of these other networks would have followed it and reported on the outcome, if there actually was one...

It turns out there was 3 jailers in Colbert County arrested within days if not weeks of each other. One for supplying marijuana and the others for supplying cell phones and Kentucky Fried Chicken. I was still unable to find out on my original inquiry (Tony Chaney) as to what the disposition on the charges were.

Tony Wayne Chaney - Bringing marijuana and cell phones into the jail for money. First reported Sept 20, 2008

Jeremy Kimbrough - Bringing food into the jail for money. First reported Jan 8, 2009

Justin Lee Franks - Cell phones and Kentucky Fried Chicken. First Reported Oct 26, 2008
May concluded by saying “This case was different from the first arrest of Tony Chaney. This case did not involve drugs. Franks told us he did it for the money.”

Again, if the last 3 links don't work, change the **********'s in the address bar to s h o a l s i n s i d e r. It's censoring that term for some reason.
