Jessie Lunderby, the Arkansas prison guard who caused a stir last month when she was suspended from her job for posing nude for Playboy, has officially been fired. CBS affiliate KFSM reports that a termination letter from Washington County Sheriff Tim Helder was given to 21-year-old Jessie Lunderby Wednesday. In the letter, Helder writes that Lunderby’s "nude modeling hobby" spilled over into the work place and became a "distraction."

"Needless to say, your hobby was no longer a private pursuit; nor is it any longer a mere hobby," Helder writes. He went on to cite the over 2 million hits Lunderby’s photos and story has received on the internet. "Due to your choice to present yourself as a county detention officer from Fayetteville, Arkansas, we have been confronted with resulting workplace issues." Lunderby has been asked to turn in all Sheriff’s Office equipment, uniforms, badges and IDs. She will have the opportunity to appeal her termination. Sounds like some BS to me.
