Mold Found In Jail, Makes People Sick

It's literally been a growing problem for some public safety

employees in one Eastern Carolina county for more than 5 months.

Hyde County officials say mold has been growing in the Hyde County

Jail since October.

The newly constructed public safety facility was tested by the state

last fall when workers started complaining of headaches and

respiratory problems.

The infestation has caused departments including the sheriff's office

to temporarily relocate.

County Manager Carl Clessen hopes to move all employees back into the

facility in 4 to 6 weeks.
