Question about the detective career

Question

So, my sim who is in the detective career just made her first arrest. The suspect was in a cell when I got to the police station so I took her and did fingerprints, mugshots and a search. Then I find that I can't put her back in her cell, and there was no indication as to whether or not she was the correct suspect. She just started wandering around the police station chatting with all the other detectives! Is this a bug, or did I miss something I was supposed to do? I am only a cadet so I can't interrogate. Sorry if I sound stupid, but I've never played this career before lol.

You should be able to put her in the cell, did you try clicking on the cell doors? Does clicking on the suspect or interrogation table give you any options? You can probably just leave her and go back to your work tasks, since you are at a low rank. I honestly don’t think it matters, and she’ll either be in her cell or gone the next time you go to work.

I don't usually even try to put prisoners back in their cells. They aren't going to run away. They usually return to the cell on their own after awhile or get returned to the cell by another officer.

Do you use a custom police station or the original one?
Because when I rebuilt the police station, I found that the debug cell doors do not work for the career. You have to use the door that's in the original build.

Thanks for the replies. :) I am using the original police station, so that isn't the issue, but thanks for the info. I will keep that in mind. After I had interrogated the suspect and couldn't put her back, I paused and closed the game to come here and ask, and later on when I went back, my sim put the suspect in a cell automatically and I got a case closed notification, so at least that part seems to have righted itself, I just can't do it manually. Oh well, I guess if Sketch hasn't ever put them back, it can't be too much of a big deal anyway. Thanks guys!

I haven't tried this career yet but want to! Reading these experiences is helpful.
