As a law enforcement officer working in Escambia County I can tell you I am extremely disappointed with the elected Sheriff in this County of which I do not work for.
As the "top law enforcement officer" in the county it is absolutely required that he holds himself to a higher standard of integrity. He sets the bar for his department. I can say with absolute certainty that he has failed miserably in this endeavor.
To be charged and convicted of violating laws of another state is a slap in the face to all law enforcement officers that work in this county. For him to make excuses and not take responsibility for his actions is even more embarrassing and a true sign of his arrogance. He has a jail full prisoners on “L” street that take this same position.
The irony is I doubt he will be defeated by any of the people running for his position and the reputation of the Sheriff’s Department will surely suffer as a result.
