Bulloch County Correctional Institute Warden Billy Tompkins took extra steps Tuesday to ensure that a repeat of Monday’s pest-infested potatoes being served to inmates would not happen again. He plans to consult the Bulloch County Health Department, United States Department of Agriculture and Bulloch County Cooperative Extension Service to make sure the garden produce remains pest-free and safe, said Bulloch County Manager Tom couch. Tompkins confirmed Tuesday that some kind of “bug” was indeed found in potatoes served to Bulloch County Jail inmates.
