State police arrest Rockville correctional officer

The Tribune-Star

Two months after a Rockville correctional officer’s arrest for helping a prisoner escape, State Police have arrested another correctional officer on allegations of trafficking and engaging in sex acts with an inmate.

Roger Heitzman, 43, of Rockville, was arrested on allegations of official misconduct, a class-D felony, and trafficking with an inmate, a class-A misdemeanor, after a police investigation Thursday.

Heitzman brought tobacco, over-the-counter medicines and jewelry into the Rockville Correctional Facility for female inmates, police said. He allegedly engaged in sex acts with at least one female inmate while on duty, in relation to the trafficking of items, according to police.

Heitzman remained in the Parke County Jail late Friday under bail set at $10,000, with 10 percent acceptable.

On Aug. 4, convicted murderer Sarah Pender escaped from the prison with the alleged help of a correctional officer. Scott A. Spitler faces charges in connection with the escape, which also involves allegations of sex behind bars.

As of late Friday, Pender was still at large.
