Stoddard County Corrections Officer Roy Jones was arrested Saturday evening in Bollinger County on allegations of incest and rape in the second degree, according to the Bollinger County Sheriff's Department.
Jones is due in court Wednesday for arraignment.
Sheriff Carl Hefner said the employee was "unofficially terminated" Friday, July 6 at the end of his shift. He could not confirm the identity of the employee due to the ongoing investigation
"He will not be coming back to work for us," he said.
Hefner went on to say the individual was "a good employee," and with the department for "a little over nine years."
Hefner added he is not able to release much information at this time due to the sheriff's department's involvement with the investigation.
According to the Bollinger County Sheriff's Department webpage, Jones has a $25,000 cash/surety bond on each alleged charge.
He has been furloughed due to medical reasons, according to Casenet.
Jones was confirmed to be a Stoddard County Sheriff's Department employee through payroll information presented at a county commission meeting last month.
