MACON, Ga. - (UPI)- Two former Macon police officers were arrested by sheriff's deputies Friday on morals charges involving two Negro women prisoners at the city jail last August.
The ex-officers. Buford Sutton and J. E. Coleman, were arrested on bench warrants issued by city court. The two resigned from the police force last December.
The morals charges involve alleged fornication and adultery, according to the warrants.
Harold Davis, former city hall building custodian who was fired shortly after Sutton and Coleman resigned, also was charged with morals violations.
Assistant Solicitor Harry F. Thompson said the accusations against the three were drawn up by the solicitor's office on information gained by a grand jury which investigated the case last week.
The grand jury, however, returned no presentments following a session in which they questioned acting Police Chief J. F. Flint and other police officials.
Thompson said no charges have been filed against the women.
