Former jailers arrested Two former Cocke County jailers were arrested Wednesday afternoon on charges handed down earkier this week by a Cocke County Grand Jury. The sealed presentments allege that Heather Boyd, 33, Point Pleasant Road, Newport and Kyle VanDaley, 20, Overlook Way, Newport took drugs into the jail for inmates, and so both defendants are charged with introduction of contraband into a penal institution and official misconduct. The presentments say the former jailers "did take, send or otherwise cause (methamphetamine) to be taken where prisoners are quartered." Boyd allegedly took the drug into the inmates on June 6, and VanDaley allegedly committed the same offense on July 8. The former employees were terminated some time ago by Cocke County Sheriff Armando Fontes after the alleged offenses came to light. Both defendants are free on $7,500 bonds in the case investigated by Cocke County Detective Lt. Robert Thornton. Also indicted by the grand jury is Christopher Busler, 19, Orchard View Drive, Newport, who is charged with six counts each rape of a child and aggravated sexual battery. A Cocke County man faces sex charges in connection with alleged incidents in May and June. Busler was arrested in July by Cocke County officers after he allegedly admitted to having sex with a nine year-old male on three occasions. But the charges handed down by the grand jury allege additional similar offenses with another person under the age of 13 in the same time frame. Bond for Busler is set at $500,000.
