| I have had a run in with our local police department and I also got to experience our fine jail. I was arrested for Disorderly Conduct for trying to tell a officer what had taken place at a incident and the officer did not want to listen. I was taken to jail and let sit for six hours before being released. While there a JAILER came to the cell to do a search. I am a woman and a woman should have been present. This was 4 hours after I showed up there. I was allowed a phone call but my friend was not until 8 hours later. I filed a complaint with the sheriffs office (jail) and with the police department (police officer) They promised a investigation and guess what nothing happened. I had my day in court and everything against me was thrown out and I was told I should have only gotten a ticket if anything at all. My friends charges were also thrown out because the prosecuting attorney Knew we had been done wrong. I also called the Attorney General, KBI, etc and nothing happened. Our police officers lie to cover their butt all the time, Look how many it takes for a traffic stop. I did my own research on my own time and even found a jailer giving his home phone number to a female when being released, but while there she was ask if she wanted to help with dishes. I am a law abiding citizen who has no record and not so much as a speeding ticket. I do not know Leslie Hess but my hat is off to her. We have attorney's that have to be court appointed and defend all kinds and they only have to raise benefit of doubt. Just because you have a badge does not make you honest, or above the law. I believe this lovely town of ours is very corrupt and we need to clean the inside before we try to make the town look good for everyone else.  |
