A Harrison County sheriff’s deputy has been arrested for bringing contraband into the local jail.
On Saturday, the HCSO announced an update on the arrest of Kristina Eaton for one felony charge of introduction of contraband into a correctional facility.
According to Sheriff Matt Haley, Harrison County investigators received information on Dec. 25, 2023 that Eaton was bringing contraband into the Harrison County Adult Detention Center in Gulfport. Based on evidence obtained by investigators at that time, Eaton was terminated from her position.
On June 13, Eaton appeared in the Harrison County Circuit Court for a show-cause hearing. During the hearing, investigators were able to prove probable cause and obtain a warrant for Eaton.
Eaton turned herself in on the warrant and was booked into the Harrison County Adult Detention Facility. She is being held in lieu of a $25,000.00 dollar bond set by Justice Court Judge Theressia Lyons.
