ST. GABRIEL, La. (AP) - A Louisiana prison guard has been arrested for allegedly having an inappropriate relationship with an inmate.

The state Department of Public Safety and Corrections, in a news release, said Deshunta Miller, 21, of Baker, surrendered Monday to the Iberville Parish Sheriff’s Office where she was charged with one count of malfeasance in office for sexual conduct prohibited with persons in custody. It was unknown if she has an attorney who could speak on her behalf.

Miller, a sergeant, was a probationary employee at the Elayn Hunt Correctional Center in St. Gabriel. She has served at the facility since Nov. 12, 2019.
