Off-Duty Walton Deputy Arrested For DUI

[AAbsolute]

Have some other people going drinking with the person, convince them to drive, and then call the deputies in question.

I am NOT saying this is what happened, just pointing out that it's not a gun to the head operation to get someone drunk.

Nobody is going to get me to drive drunk unless they do put a gun to my head. If he got souped up and scooped up it's his own fault.

If you don't think that the Walton County Sheriff's office has been involved in setups you need to grow up a bit. Yes, I called it backwoods. For the most part that's been my experience with the local do gooder's. I'd hate to be a poor minority being handled by Walton County's finest. I have contempt for our local law enforcement and I know first hand how the Judges work too.

At the same time there are some upstanding deputies mixed in. You know them as soon as you look them in the eye.

Funny, I've never been involved in a situation or put myself in a situation that would require law enforcement assistance. I guess that's why I don't feel as if I've ever been 'set up'. Maybe you need to grow up a little bit and take ownership of your actions and stop crying 'poor me'. Lots of people make it through their entire lives without a brush with the law. Sorry you've been in trouble. It's not anyone's fault but your own.

That was a little harsher than I meant it to be. Just because you were extremely rude doesn't mean I needed to be.

If you continue to work against them, it will continue to not work for you. They are here to help. The faster we get all the 'Cullens' off the road, the better off we all are.

You've got strong opinions and that's good. You are completely incorrect on this issue. Your statement above is out of line.

Answer this: A sheriff's officer works privately, when off duty, for a developer. The sheriff's officer has a meeting with the developer and together they craft a criminal charge. Together, they have documents in their posession and verbal affidavits that are clear and convincing evidence to prove the charges false. Despite this, they craft a charge that looks probable on its face, by removing those pieces of evidence from the complaint doc.'s. The charge is signed by the D.A.

During discovery the accused obtains copies of the doc's. At trial the accused uses the documents and affidavits that were in the posession of the complainant's. The Judge rules in favor of the Defendant.

How many times has this happened in Walton County in the past 15 years?

Hope you know the answer to your question. You have painted a large segment of Deputies with a broad brush as to what you feel is their corruptness. I'll bet in your trade everyone is honest and never takes advantage of a situation. I am sorry that you seem to have been abused by the system, but based on your statements the system worked for you. So that's a good thing, right? Unlike some other post here, people are guilty until proven innocent.

This shouldn't be hard.... Is there any all knowing Sowal member who remembers what Harry Harper, Esq. exposed about the Walton County Sheriff's Department in the conspiracy case and trial acquittal heard in Walton County?

I know first hand how some deputies will falsify documents. I am fortunate. There are others who are in jail in Walton County right now who are in there on corrupt basis.

I told you before, you can usually see the goodness in our Deputies the moment you look in their eyes.

I for one am getting tired of your idle talk. Either state specific names and facts or stop making broad charges and innuendos that hurt a large segment of our population. That is only fair.

Please don't tell me to go and research it myself. I have a life and do not have time to chase rabbits. If it means enough to you to start this, then finish it. Otherwise, it is not fair to these people to keep saying the entire group is rotten.

AA, in addition to what idlewind said, even if someone had the time or the interest to look it up, there is no option for looking up court cases on the public records search just by the name of the attorney.

Also, I have been closely involved with (and privy to most of the rumors about) the WCSO for over twenty years, and I have no idea what the heck you are talking about.

You need to read a little clearer. Sorry you get frustrated.

Kurt told me to stop naming names on Sowal or I'd be kicked off. It's my nature to be specific. Will you have Kurt give me a permission slip? I will be happy to name names. It's already public record.

In the mean while I can tell you that Harry Harper, Esq., who worked for the States Attorney, represented a LEO in Walton County. The case involved charges of conspiracy, wire tapping, illegal recordings, abuse of process, etc. etc. The trial was by jury. The verdict proved that there are serious abuses of power within the Walton County Sheriff's office. I don't want to see any more of it and I have some faith in the new Sheriff keeping things clean.

Sorry I can't be more helpful with specifics. You are asking for the story and I want to tell it. In respect for our host Kurt I won't be able to help you with this at this time.

I know you have been here for a while. You really don't remember a case on the front page of a major local paper that ran the coverage of a high ranking WCS officer involved in a conspiracy and illegal recordings case? It was officers setting up other officers, recordings within the Sheriff's offices without warrants, meetings in the woods with informants, etc.
