ST. GABRIEL - An Elayn Hunt Correctional employee was arrested Thursday for malfeasance in office, the Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office said.

D'shyra Hawkins, 21, was booked into Iberville Parish Jail, arrest documents say. The reason for the arrest was not provided in those documents.

Hawkins resigned from her position with the Department of Corrections, officials said.

This comes after a weekend where four people were arrested for bringing contraband to the prison. Additionally, a 32-year-old inmate was found unresponsive in his cell over the weekend before later dying, deputies said.
