From NBC Dallas: A sheriff’s deputy in Ohio has been fired for ordering jail inmates to dance to an Usher song in exchange for making phone calls and using a microwave.

Dominic Martucci, 35, was fired from his post at the Summit County sheriff’s office this week, and the departmental charges against him — including ones of misconduct and of mistreating inmates — were released Wednesday, the Akron Beacon Journal reported.

He’s accused of making five inmates entertain him with a dance to Usher’s “Yeah!” in order to regain privileges — like the chance to make phone calls, use a microwave and get items from the commissary — that they had lost earlier in the day.
