A detention officer in Harris County was arrested while at work Wednesday night after he allegedly sexually assaulted a co-worker.
Jeleel Williams, 26, according to ABC13, has been charged with sexual assault.
He was arrested at work at the jail located at 701 San Jacinto in downtown around 10 p.m. Deputies then took him across the street to be processed into jail as an inmate.
According to court records, the alleged sexual assault happened after 56 new detention officers were sworn in in July.
A group of them went out afterward, coordinated by a sergeant, records state, to celebrate.
The 36-year-old victim told investigators in August she consumed alcohol, so Williams drove her home, where she said that he sexually assaulted her.
Williams spent most of Thursday in jail until his release after posting a $50,000 bond.
As of the time of filing this report, Harris County Sheriff’s Office had not responded to questions about Williams’ job status.
He also does not have an attorney of record and is expected in court today Friday.
