Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs called May 29 for the county commission to wrest control of the Richard L. Bean Juvenile Detention Center from its board of trustees and shift operations to the sheriff's office, following a series of complaints about the safety and effectiveness of operations under longtime Superintendent Richard Bean.
