For Escambia, Alabama, Deputy Charge With Federal Civil Rights Violation
July 21, 2024
A former Escambia County, Alabama, deputy has been charged with a federal civil rights violation.
Eric Glenn Lambeth, Jr. was charged with deprivation of rights under color of law for allegedly having sex with a female he had arrested and was transporting to jail, according to court records. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.
Lambeth was arrested and charged with custodial sexual abuse and a felony ethics violation in April 2023. He was released from jail on a $45,000 bond.
Sheriff Heath Jackson said his office received a complaint that Lambeth had sexual contact with an inmate who was being transported to jail.
“Lambeth was terminated from his position and transported to the Escambia County Detention Center,” Jackson said following the incident.
The sheriff said Lambeth previously worked at the jail and was transferred to patrol after attending the law enforcement academy in 2022.
The state custodial sexual abuse and a state felony ethics violation charges are still pending in Escambia County District Court.

So sick and tired of the corruption! Cops are just a gang with badges.
The sheriff department and the FBI both have the evidence against this former officer. They would not be charging him with all the different charges if they did not have evidence. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. But you have to look at the charges against him not to mention the ones that haven’t been processed yet or the ones he hasn’t been prosecuted for yet. He took the victim’s dignity with what he did to her while she was handcuffed. This is why there is no trust in law enforcement.
@Maw maw, I am sure Sheriff Jackson has all the evidence needed, else he would not have fired him so quick.

You shouldn’t judge until proven guilty
Wait you will read the truth !
Weed out these creatures, please! Where does your loyalty lie? Law Enforcement or the back seat of a patrol car (whatever you’re doing back there)? Nothing worse than a fake or corrupt cop. Glad he got caught. God bless our true Law Enforcement!
He is a disgrace to the badge, the Sheriff’s Office, and the community!
