A Forsyth County detention officer, who was involved in the death investigation of former inmate, John Neville, has been re-hired by the sheriff's office.
Charges were also filed against Michelle Heughins, who worked as a nurse for Wellpath, the jail’s former health care provider. She is the sole defendant to be indicted by the grand jury in this case.
A Forsyth County grand jury declined to indict five former detention officers accused in the 2019 death of John Neville, who died after being restrained by the officers at the Forsyth County jail. Officials filed involuntary manslaughter charges against Lavette Williams, Edward Roussel, Sarah Poole, Antonio Woodley Jr., and Christopher Stamper back in July 2020.
