According to authorities, Newton let the inmate out of his cell and into the area where he was working to engage in consensual oral sex on March 19 and 20.
On March 24, Newton was caught by a deputy sheriff in the jail trying to bring in two packs of cigarettes and a lighter into the facility.
Authorities said that Newton admitted to having oral sex with the inmate during an interview, revealing that he was in a relationship with the inmate and that they didn't know each other prior to the inmate being arrested.
