In new court documents, prosecutors say a former administrator of the Knox County jail diverted more than $200,000 in cash and currency deposited in kiosks for inmate commissary accounts that should have been transferred to a bank account maintained by the jail. Louis A. Glossip, 46, faces nine felony charges stemming from the alleged theft, which happened over a six-year period from 2017 to 2023.
