Rick needs to go to fort gay and hit it hard and constant
Chuck Jackson needs sheriff training from this sheriff. You can’t tell me that this kind of thing only goes on on one side of the Big Sandy River. It’s happening in Louisa and LC too, just not being enforced.
In my opinion Sheriff Thompson and the DEU have done a lot to curb the drug dealing in Wayne County but more is yet to be done. I have strong suspicion that I know a dealer and I think he is well known with the Sheriff’s dept. and it really makes me wonder why they haven’t arrested him. Maybe they are waiting to catch his supplier?
