Westchester Jail Warden Suspended After Actor’s Selfie With Inmate

Last week film crews for the Starz series 'Power' arrived at Westchester County jail for routine filming, but it ended up getting the warden suspended without pay.

County officials have suspended jail warden Karl Vollmer, and launch an investigation into an apparent security breach. Vollmer was suspended after Omari Hardwick apparently took a selfie with an inmate in his cell.

The photo started spreading on social media and was shared by rapper 50 cent, and the show's producer. Tony Yayo shared the image on Twitter and Instagram., where you can view the "selfie" in question.

Officials are looking into the matter, and an employee had to be suspended without pay while the investigation proceeds, according to Lohud.

The filming was approved by officials of the jail,  and "Power" not the first show to film at the jail. Shows like "Homeland" and The Affair" have also filmed at the jail in the past.
