Three officers punished for 10-hour detention

A southeast Georgia police officer has been fired and two supervisors are suspended over the detention of a Canadian graduate student for minor traffic violations. 23-year-old Cheryl Kuehn had to strip, take a delousing shower and spend a night at the Glynn County Jail after being arrested for speeding and running a stop sign near Interstate 95 in Brunswick. Kuehn didn’t get out of jail for 10 hours, because the now-fired communications officer missed the response to a routine immigration check run on Kuehn. The Glynn County sheriff says the suspended supervisors were on duty at the time and should have resolved the problem quickly.
