CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) - A sheriff has ordered a criminal investigation of her own department after six inmates were released by mistake this year.
The Nueces County sheriff's office had instituted safeguards earlier this month after five inmates were mistakenly released from the county jail, but another erroneous release was discovered Tuesday.
"Preliminary information indicates that there may be highly suspicious circumstances surrounding this latest incident," Sheriff Rebecca Stutts said Tuesday in a statement.
