Commissioner raises concern about pay-per-view adult charges on Haskell County jail TV bill
Summary
At a Haskell County meeting a commissioner said apparent pay-per-view adult entertainment charges appeared on the jail's TV bill; commissioners agreed to place the item on a future agenda or call the sheriff for an explanation.
During routine business, a commissioner raised a concern that pay-per-view adult movies had been charged to the county's jail TV bill and asked colleagues whether the board should call a special meeting with the sheriff or place the matter on next week's agenda for further inquiry.
The speaker identified specific titles on the bill and said the purchases appeared to have been made on county time; the transcript does not contain a response from the sheriff or jail staff. Commissioners agreed to discuss the issue at a future meeting and to ask the sheriff for clarification.
The meeting record shows the item was not resolved that day; the board did not take formal disciplinary or procurement action in the recorded session. The transcript indicates the board expects a follow-up agenda item or special meeting to obtain details from the sheriff's office.
