Ongoing Investigation Leads to Sexual Misconduct Arrest

DEMOPOLIS, Ala – Law enforcement agents with the Alabama Department of Corrections Investigations and Intelligence Division arrest a Demopolis city employee after being charged with having an inappropriate relationship with a male inmate.

Barbara Blevins, 48, of Forkland, was arrested on five counts of sexual misconduct after the investigation revealed evidence she was having physical relations with an ADOC inmate. The inmate was assigned to the Camden Community Based Facility working for the City of Demopolis at the time of Blevins arrest.

The ADOC opened this ongoing investigation after an anonymous tip claiming a “potentially inappropriate relationship” between Blevins and the inmate.

Blevins was booked at the Marengo County jail following her arrest. Her bond is set at $200,000. The inmate does not face criminal charges, but ADOC disciplinary action is pending.
