Can someone help me? What is going on here? What was the person born as? What does the person think they are? And which jail should they be going to?
A male inmate was placed in Shelby County’s female jail over the weekend. It’s a mix-up that has the Sheriff’s Office investigating exactly what happened.
Sherita Turner said her brother is a transgendered man. But when Terry Turner was arrested Thursday, officers thought he was a woman.
They booked him into Jail East, the county’s women’s jail.
“On the picture for the warrant he is dressed like a woman and it said female, but he was telling them all along that he was a man,” Turner told FOX13.
Sherita said she spoke with Terry on Friday, and he told her he told jailers several times before processing that he was a man. They allegedly ignored him.
“They said they are still going to take him to Jail East,” Turner said.
The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Turner was being held at Jail East over the weekend. However, they are investigating how he got there.
“He used the bathroom and the lady screamed out she see his (private parts),” Turner said.
Sherita told FOX13 they believe Terry’s civil rights were violated and the Sheriff’s Office should be held accountable.
“They just have to admit they made a big mistake,” Turner said. “They have to accept the simple fact he is what he is, and that was their fault.”
Terry Turner was arrested with his cousin. They are now both at 201 Poplar facing identity theft charges.
Officers said they found 13 different ID’s in the car the two were in. Both are due in court Monday.
It’s an easy test to pass or fail, eh?
God I hope these jailers don’t make $15 a hour!
What’s infuriating about a lot of these types of stories is that the idiot “journalists” will refer to a mentally ill man in a dress and high heels as “she”.
I find that even more confusing. To say nothing of the fact that it’s a lie and only reflects the progressive wishes of the “reporter”.
Don’t inmates get poked and prodded before released into gen pop, at the very least to make sure they have a safe place to pee?
He was born a criminal. Commits a crime dressed as a man or a woman, then swaps clothes and ID to fool police.
The transgender was arrested for stealing other people’s identities – how fitting.
Easy solution. Make general pop truly general pop. Don’t discriminate between male and female inmates. Isn’t that what the left wants anyway? Equality? So throw them all together, then you don’t have to worry about its gender.
if he were sent to the male jail, his sexual identity rights would be trampled.
liberals love a no win scenario.
before taking an inmate into the actual jail portion they are supposed to be searched. THOROUGHLY.
Men have to lift up their wang and then lift up their scroat and then spread the cheeks, squat and cough. This is so the guards can see that there is nothing being snuck in.
Women have to also lift, spread and show also etc etc.
Body cavities are generally how stuff is snuck in to prisons and jails.
If this person was actually put IN the jail… they weren’t searched at ALL.
I’m amused by the tender sensibilities of our female criminal population: “He used the bathroom and the lady screamed out she see his (private parts),” Turner said.
They have a lot to talk about at tea time!
It’s a black “Pat”. Who knew?
I am curious do you know all this from personal experience ? and if so where you the inspector or inspectee?
I agree my head hurts trying sort out he/she/it. Oh wait why am I trying. Don’t break the law and this would not be an issue.
and by the way sherita is a horrible sounding name. maybe the sister would want to borrow one of the multiple names.
They must’ve failed “pat-down” and “cavity-search” class. Seriously.
There’s no bigger bunch of clowns in the LEO business then the Shelby County TN Sheriff’s dept. They deserve this ten fold.
Badco
Barky’s chirrens are sure in media headlines a lot now…… i smell an Arkansas rat who is a seacow by birth….
those “idiot journalists” are enablers of the mentally unstable.
Fat Black confused lives matter.
Put “it” in its own cell, away from everyone else. No gender confusion or civil rights infringement then. Push tray of food under the door slot from time to time. When tray does NOT come back out, then open door and release the remains to the family. Sentence terminated for time served.
