Henderson County jailer arrested

Sheriff Botie Hillhouse said his Office suspended, investigated, and today arrested a jailer who worked at the Henderson County Jail.

Timothy Grosskopf, 42, turned himself in to Deputies this morning after the Sheriff’s Office investigated him for a charge of official oppression for violating an inmate’s civil rights while he was at work.

“Immediately after learning of the incident, we suspended Grosskopf, conducted an investigation, and determined a crime had been committed,” Hillhouse said. “The investigation continues, and updates will be provided as needed.”
