A former employee at a minimum custody state facility was indicted last month for allegedly having sexual conduct with an inmate and an ethics charge related to the behavior, according to court records made public Wednesday.

Melissa Olson Crabtree, a 54-year-old Harvest resident who worked at the Alabama Department of Corrections’ North Alabama Community-Based Facility/Community Work Center in Decatur, was indicted by a Lawrence County grand jury on June 16 with custodial sexual conduct and soliciting/receiving a thing of value as a public official for allegedly helping the inmate become a driver to facilitate the conduct.

The facility’s inmates participate in work release programs, and the building also offers drug treatment programs.

The alleged incident occurred Dec. 17, 2019 near Moulton, according to the indictment, which was made public Wednesday.

On Monday, ADOC’s Law Enforcement Division arrested Crabtree, the agency told WHNT.

Crabtree was being held in the Lawrence County jail on $45,000 bond.
