coarrested A former jail kitchen manager was arrested for “Offense of Abuse of Office” after claiming an inmate on her taxes. Tonya Butler, 45, resigned from her office in May, a month before the Washington Parish found out about Butler fraud and office abuse. Butler acquired the social security number, and date of birth from an inmate claiming that she would pay her back once she got the income tax refund, according to reports. Sources stated the inmate claims to have felt she had to cooperate since Butler had the authority to remove inmate workers from their kitchen duties. The inmate felt if she didn’t comply, then Butler may retaliate. SMH……maybe the jail worker figured since she worked the kitchen and provided food she could claim the inmate on her taxes??????????????? SMH
