From the Office of DeKalb County Sheriff Nick Welden:
FORT PAYNE, Ala. — The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office is providing an update regarding the recent internal investigation at the DeKalb County Jail.
Corrections Officer Evan Blayne Wilborn (38 of Rainsville) was arrested and charged with Voyeurism 1st (x6).
The investigation remains active and ongoing. Additional charges and arrests may be pending as the DeKalb County Major Crimes Unit, in coordination with the DeKalb County Districts Attorney’s Office, continues to pursue this case.
Further information will be released as the investigation allows.
We also, recognize concerns regarding names and records; the inmate roster has been down due to a large system update, which has temporarily affected access. We are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

We will never hesitate to hold our own accountable and uphold the trust the public has placed in us. No one is above the law, and this office will remain committed to full transparency and justice”
