This deputy was eventually terminated for reasons other than the original complaint from his wife. He had been victimizing many women.... finally enough people spoke up once these allegations arose. Scary what he was able to get away with for that many years... Makes you wonder what else went on that no one found out about.
ReplyDeleteFunny how an anonymous person claims to know so much. Everything that was said by this person is false, the deputy was never fired for this or any other allegations all charges were dismissed when it was found his ex-wife was lying about everything. For anonymous and this site, Check your facts before you start putting things on here you know nothing about and just try to ruin people's names. There are people out there that deserve to be on here, but again know you facts and only put the factual stories out there!
