A captain with the Knox County Sheriff’s Office retires following an investigation for sexual harassment.

Captain Michael Evans was at a local restaurant with another officer in June and an employee claimed he acted inappropriately toward her. That employee told investigators that she had multiple similar encounters with Evans. She said she thought he accidentally touched her until he talked to her about it later.

A report from the Office of Professional Standards
Investigators believe three of the four allegations were proved to be true. They said he violated the following general order violations as a KCSO employee: general responsibilities, personal conduct and conduct toward the public.

The victim did not file official charges against him.

Evans’ retirement takes effect on today.
