04/20/2006 - A Haywood County deputy has been suspended with pay after being charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Micah Horner, 30, is scheduled to appear in Haywood County General Sessions Court on May 18 on the charge, according to the court clerk's office.
According to an affidavit, Horner provided a 16-year-old girl with a cell phone so that he could contact her. Her parents had asked Horner not to do so. Horner is also accused of helping the teen in a runaway attempt on March 26.
Sheriff Melvin Bond said that the county mayor agreed with him that Horner should be suspended with pay until they can get legal advice on the case. Bond said that the county attorney resigned recently, and that officials will have to wait until another county attorney is appointed to decide what should be done next.
Bond said that Horner has been with the sheriff's office since April 2002.
