When Bad Sheriffs Go Worse
May. 20th, 2009 08:29 amSo, our three term county sheriff has finally copped to ALL charges against him.

He'd been re-elected three times as Okaloosa County Sheriff. I guess he thought he was untouchable, not to mention apparently having a major gambling addiction.
Speculation is that since he's changed his plea to guilty on all counts (thief, corruption, money-laundering and I think a few others), he might be ready to implicate a bunch of other county and/or state officials. I can only hope so.
We've had way too many crooks in office for way to long around here.
