Another Walton deputy arrested, fired

New posts
Wow. It doesn't say when the arrest took place - was it just this week?

:popcorn:
 
I saw it on channel 13 a couple of days ago. I think his firing was fairly immediate after the sheriff saw the video of the traffic stop.
 
Sounds like Sheriff Adkinson is an Elvis fan.....T.C.B.:clap:

Also sounds like Ralph was doing his recruiting at the State Pen down the road.:yikes:
Good to see the cleanup is in full swing.

I hope you are as "open minded" if called for jury duty. None of these guys have been found guilty of anything other than speeding. Although the situation of the deputy busted for drugs looks bad, he has yet been convicted of anything. Maybe he should have been suspended until his issue has been dealt with legally. The one in Alabama is even disappointing but again not been found guilty of anything. You must be one of them that you would sacrifice 100 innocent to prison to ensure the punishment of 1 guilty. I'll venture to guess you have never ever done anything wrong. Keep throwing the stones, watch out for the bounce, it may hit your glass house.
 
Last I knew, Speeding is against the law. If you're toting illegal items in your car, you probably shouldn't speed. :roll:

You know, with all due respect and admiration for the job which you do, your perception of the standard of personal conduct of those providing public service is warped, to say the least, IMO.

All I am attempting to impart is that there has to be a fair process. We are held accountable to what we do on the jobs also off the job. We as people are prone to failures within our personal lives, sometimes due to immaturity, sometimes stresses in our lives are at the root. When we don't look after those who work for us, whether in how we treat them with regards to failures in their lives and try to assist them with changing their direction and helping them to become a productive employee, then we have failed. We see this in society as a whole. We place people in jail for non violent crimes for the punishment and hope that the time will make them rethink their path in life. Then we find we are sending them back to prison multiple times for ever increasing crimes. I take a look at what these former deputies have been accused of and I am not happy about it, but it is a symptom of a larger problem or just the 3 bad eggs within the department?
