An internal investigation is under way at the Salisbury Police Department after an inmate found a loaded handgun inside a police vehicle being painted at Piedmont Correctional Institution. [More]They're lucky it was found by a disgusting coward. You know, the one they're calling "heroic."
I'm thinking he committed a felony just by touching it.
Several years ago, I considered applying to a particular Georgia sheriff's department. Then I discovered that deputies going off-shift would turn their sidearms over to an jail trustee for cleaning. Still loaded.
ReplyDeleteI went elsewhere.
I will allow for the possibility that they were only committing a major breach of security, not putting a felon in posssession of firearms, since they generally shipped felons to state prisons. So the odds allow that the trustee was a misdemeanor offender.
"George Davis is the inmate who discovered the weapon. Davis, 31, is serving a 24-year sentence for first-degree sex offense with a child."
ReplyDeleteI was referring to the trustee in my anecdote, not Davis in the article. Sorry for the confusion.
ReplyDeleteThe inmate is guilty of a disgusting crime for which he deserved to die.
ReplyDeleteThe inmate did the right thing in this instance at great personal risk to himself, which potentially saved many lives.
One does not cancel out the other, nor does one have anything to do with the other.
I'm sure that the internal investigation will conclude that no departmental procedures were violated.
