Gibson County Sheriff Paul Thomas has pleaded not guilty to 18 charges that he illegally profited from the work of jail inmates under his supervision and housed dozens of them in a home outside of the prison without permission. Thomas was indicted in May in Gibson and Davidson counties on 22 charges, including official misconduct, theft, forgery and computer crimes involving jail inmates in his custody. Arraignment for the charges in Davidson County will take place at a later date, the Associated Press reports.
