Douglas county courthouse
The holding cell where the teens were kept
Two Georgia teenagers were left in a county courthouse holding cell from Friday to Monday with no food, lights, or toilet paper, Dave Huddleston WSB Atlanta reports.
"I'm embarrassed today as I can possibly be," Douglas County Sheriff Phil Miller told reporters.
The teens, ages 16 and 17, had court appearances on Friday, and were locked in the holding cell after neither of their parents showed up.
"Nobody that works in security is supposed to leave that building at night without checking the cells, and it's not a hard job to do," Miller said, adding that eight to 10 officers were involved may lose their job once he completes the internal investigation.
