ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — 9 Investigates uncovered an Orange County corrections officer with a history of trouble has resigned amid an internal investigation.
He’s one of two officers who was disciplined in 2013 for fighting on the way back from a charity event.
Channel 9’s Kathi Belich found out the investigation could stem from alleged interaction with an inmate.
Jail managers are saying very little about the investigation, but Belich learned the investigation could involve a female inmate who was at the work release center where Michael Dean was working.
Dean was demoted and rehired last year after getting fired for punching a corrections sergeant during a booze-filled bust up on a charter bus on the way back from a Guns and Hoses charity event in 2013.
The current jail investigation could involve an inmate named Jacklyn Aleman, who has a history of prostitution, drug and theft arrests.
Jail officials said the same day Dean resigned, Aleman was transferred from the Orange County Jail to the Seminole County Jail, but officials won’t specify why.
Records show the 2013 bus incident started over a female corrections officer.
After Dean punched the sergeant, the investigation showed the sergeant threatened to stab Dean and said he has an arsenal in his vehicle.
The sergeant was also fired and then rehired.
