BEEBE, Ark. – An Arkansas probation officer arrested for attempted sexual assault is now without a job.
 
Jeffery Everetts was fired from his probation company, CS Background, Inc., after a Beebe probationer accused him of giving her special treatment in exchange for sexual favors.
 
CS Background was contracted to do probation in Lonoke and White counties. Now Everetts’ wife, also a probation officer, is in charge of the company. 
 
“He [Everetts] has no contact with probationers and is completely removed from CS Background,” said Barrett Rogers, the attorney for Everetts’ wife. “Mrs. Everetts had no idea what was going on. She was as shocked as everyone else was.”
 
CS Background’s customers are split.
 
Cabot Mayor Bill Cypert confirms the city will continue doing business with the company since Everetts is no longer associated with it. Mayor Cypert said if additional charges would be filed against Everetts that affects the Cabot District Court, he will reevaluate. 
 
Lonoke District Court employees said they cannot comment at this time.
 
Beebe Mayor Mike Robertson confirms the city immediately severed all ties with Everetts’ company,
 
“CS Background is disappointed to lose the city of Beebe’s business and hopes they would reconsider but understands based on the circumstances why they did what they did,” Rogers said. 
 
In a statement, Mayor Robertson said, “The mayor’s office and the city council are very concerned about the women who may have been physically and mentally affected, abused by the probation service officer.”
 
“The company is in the process of removing him from the board of directors, in the process of taking his shares away,” Rogers said. “He no longer has any access to the business.”
 
However, Beebe City Attorney Scott Bles worries about its new owner, Everetts’ wife.
 
Bles said she is supervising probationers who could be her husband’s victims, which he believes will hamper potential victims from coming forward. 
 
“She’s just looking forward to continuing her role as a probation officer and her role to continue to assist the courts,” Rogers said. 
 
Bles and Robertson encourage more victims, if any, to immediately contact city or state police.
