According to the Cochise County Sheriff's Office, Packer was originally arrested on less charges.
At the time of his arrest, he was booked for sex crime charges after an inmate at the county jail in Bisbee reported an "inappropriate incident" with the chaplain.
The sheriff's website says Packer held a full-time position to provide "for the religious needs of the inmates."
At this time, the investigation is being continued by the Cochise County Sheriff's Office.
