A Cook County jail guard has resigned after 22 years on the job due to allegations of impropriety.

Authorities say Oscar Taylor, 53, was caught on surveillance video watching a pornagraphic video on his cell phone with two inmates inside the jail’s barbershop.

Investigators caught Taylor watching the videos with inmates 39-year-old Tyrone Noel and 27-year-old William Taylor after authorities received word that contraband was being brought into the Division 6 barbershop.

A firearm was also discovered in Officer Taylor’s car, and his FOID card is currently revoked because of an incident that occurred when he wasn’t on duty.

He resigned shortly after being charged with three counts of unauthorized bringing of contraband into a penal institution, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon for carrying an uncased revolver in close proximity of ammunition.

Tyrone Noel and William Taylor were both charged with possession of contraband.
