A Former McCracken County Deputy Jailer charged with 16 counts of official misconduct has agreed to a plea deal.

Ben Green entered an Alford guilty plea Thursday in McCracken County District Court. The charges stem from Green's decision to move several inmates from protective custody to general population cells, resulting in altercations between inmates. At least three inmates claim they were physically assaulted.

As part of the deal, Green must pay court costs and a $50 fine for each count.

An Alford Plea means the defendant does not admit guilt, but acknowledges the prosecution has enough evidence to prove its case.
