“Well I wasn’t talking about myself”
Yesterday we told you about an admirable Wisconsin Police Chief who gave himself a traffic citation for failing to stop near a school bus that was unloading some kiddies. Today’s small-town law enforcement agent? Not so admirable.
Out in Tennessee, Williamson County Sheriff Ricky Headley told the local folks that he was planning to put the big crack-down on drugs in the area. So of course he’s now been arrested on drug charges.
He and a local pharmacy owner were busted earlier this week for prescription drug fraud. Headley had taken thousands of prescription pills from the pharmacy without bothering to, you know, actually have a prescription or some such. Seems the man had a fondness for a painkiller (Lortrab) and a muscle relaxant (Soma). Facing both a felony and misdemeanor charge, the irony is, now is when Headley could probably really use something to get relaxed.
