Young was also terminated on Aug. 22, 2023, after officials learned that she had lied during the internal investigation and violated several policies.

Officials did not specify what policies Young violated.

Ivey and Young were placed on administrative leave with pay during the investigation.

“I am very disappointed in the unprofessional conduct displayed by these former employees, and I will not tolerate this behavior,” Hall County Sheriff Gerald Couch said. “Their actions undermined the order, discipline, and standards our community expects from our agency. The only possible course of action for these policy violations was termination. Typically, our deputies, officers, and civilian personnel do a phenomenal job day-in and day-out, all while working with difficult people under challenging circumstances.”

Couch confirmed that none of the policy violations involved inappropriate interaction with inmates.

Ivey joined the department in 2014, and Young joined in 2018.
