CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A former detention officer with the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office was fired after being arrested for assault earlier this week, Sheriff Garry McFadden announced.
Robert Hall had been working for the sheriff's office since July 27, 2022. He turned himself in on Tuesday on charges of assaulting a female during a domestic violence incident the day before.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police obtained a warrant for Hall's arrest and took him into custody at Detention Center-Central in Uptown.
"We expect our employees to adhere to the high standards we've set at MCSO, as we seek to be a positive example for our community," McFadden said. "As a public safety organization, MCSO requires all employees to demonstrate professional and ethical conduct both on and off-duty and we will continue to hold staff accountable for their actions."
