A Hall County jailer who was suspended following a December 2010 assault on an inmate has been fired following a similar incident on Saturday. The Hall County Sheriff’s Office fired Dustin Charlton following an internal investigation into an alleged excessive force incident at the jail, spokesman Sgt. Stephen Wilbanks said in a Thursday news release. Charlton, who had been employed with the sheriff’s office since May 2010, was involved in an altercation with a combative inmate.
