BRIEF: Bradley County corrections officer arrested for sexual battery

Oct. 08--A Bradley County corrections officer has been arrested on domestic assault and sexual battery charges.

A woman told police that Cody Carrington, 27, became enraged after seeing text messages on her phone from a man.

Carrington began yelling at the victim and took all of the phones in the home so she couldn't call 911, according to an arrest report. He also broke the home phone and threw it outside before physically and sexually assaulting her.

Carrington has been charged with aggravated domestic assault, sexual battery and interference with emergency calls, a Bradley County Sheriff's Office spokesman said. His bond was set at $10,000, and he has since posted bond and released.

His next court date is set for Oct. 16.
