24-year-old Jacksonville corrections officer arrested for bringing drugs into jail

Deputies say a corrections officer was caught bringing methamphetamines and marijuana cigarettes into the jail.

Hunter Jean, 24, was charged with three felonies: delivering and distributing meth, delivering and distributing marijuana, and introduction of contraband into corrections facility.

Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said Jean had been a Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office’s correction for almost four years.

JSO’s Undersheriff Pat Ivey Ivey emphasized that the case is still under investigation and if anyone else was involved, “We’ll find them.”

Records show Jean had been under investigation since Oct. 20. Officer said it appears Jean was paid to get the drugs and not the dealer.
