BREWTON, Ala. – Escambia County Sheriff’s deputies arrested school board member Richard Hawthorne on Friday after a grand jury indicted the former corrections officer on seven charges in connection with allegations that he fondled female inmates under his control, according to Escambia County Sheriff Grover Smith.
Smith said Hawthorne, 51, left the jail Friday after his wife posted the $100,000 bail for two counts of custodial sexual misconduct; two counts of ethics violations; two counts of prostitution; and one count of promoting prison contraband, second degree.
Attempts to reach Hawthorne late Friday were unsuccessful.
Smith said Hawthorne resigned as a corrections officer shortly after the Alabama Bureau of Investigation began a probe of the allegations leveled by female inmates against Hawthorne.
