GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) – A jail official in central Nebraska has been investigated for misconduct after refusing to take custody of a prisoner, but it’s not clear if he will face any charges.
32-year-old Jimmy Vann could face a misdemeanor charge of official misconduct for the Feb. 1 incident. Vann is Hall County’s assistant corrections director.
A brief police report says this matter is related to the arrest of Jeremie Mitchell on a bench warrant for missing his trial for criminal mischief.
It’s not clear exactly what happened because officials are not saying much about the case. Vann and police referred questions to County Attorney Mark Young who declined to comment. Young says he’ll likely refer the matter to the attorney general’s office.
