flag A clerical error in North Carolina’s eCourts system led to the legal release of detainee Corey Howell, the third custody incident in Buncombe County jail in two months.

flag A third custody incident at Buncombe County’s jail in two months has raised alarms over jail oversight and North Carolina’s eCourts system. flag Initially reported as a mistaken release, detainee Corey Howell’s release was later confirmed as legal due to a clerical error in the eCourts system, marking the first known such error in the county. flag This follows a mistaken release in October and an escape in November, prompting the firing of one employee and discipline for others, though investigation details won’t be released due to security laws. flag The sheriff’s office acknowledged systemic failures but provided no public updates on corrective measures.
