A Tennessee Department of Corrections employee is in custody after being accused of stealing more than $2,500 from offenders.

Leslie Greer, a former Probation and Parole Officer, was indicted on two counts of official misconduct, theft of property, and forgery.

According to a release, a 10-month investigation done by TDOC Office of Investigations and Compliance into Greer found that she stole more than $2,500 from offenders that were under her supervision.

TDOC said Greer was terminated from her position earlier this year.

“Greer’s actions were in direct violation of departmental practices. TDOC policies are clearly defined to avoid this type of behavior,” said Assistant Commissioner of Community Supervision Alisha James.

Last year, TDOC launched the “Honor of Oath” campaign, aimed to emphasize officer and staff integrity.
