Muscatine County Jail Administrator Capt. Dean Naylor was placed on administrative leave Thursday.

Muscatine County Sheriff C.J. Ryan confirmed Friday he placed Naylor on paid administrative leave.

Earlier Friday, Muscatine County Board of Supervisors Vice-Chair Santos Saucedo confirmed that Ryan made the decision and informed the board. Neither said if Naylor's leave was prompted by the discovery of Naylor's lengthy online treatise and seven YouTube videos that called Muslims "pawns of the devil" and called the "gay lifestyle" an "abomination."

Naylor's writings and videos were a topic during the Monday, April 13, regular meeting of the board of supervisors. There it was determined Muscatine County has no written policy governing what employees can post on personal websites.
