Bethla stump has that “she’s trouble” look. Maybe she’ll get locked up for a while and it’ll settle her down.
I’m feeling pretty and I’m feeling fabulous today but…. I am offended why don’t they leave my family alone every week half my family is on this list they are good people
Why don’t they leave your family alone? Why doesn’t your family members learn to be decent humans?
Not sure where the arresting officer info comes from but Daniel Castle is a special deputy and non certified same as Paul Wells. Sheriff needs to add more certified deputy like he promised!!
Maybe, but Daniel Castle is the best deputy we have.
Very good chance because the older ones are lazy and the new ones try but have no one to show them the right way to be a good officer.
FYI Special deputies have the same arrest powers as a regular deputy. A lot of counties use them. As for the certified deputies, if I’m not mistaken the sheriff’s office has more certified deputies than they have ever had.
1 — They do have same arrest powers but NOT the training and are a BIG liability!!
2 — Yes a lot of counties use them and several have been sued and cost the county millions!!
3 — They have same number they have had for years and not more…but good try.
If Daniel Castle can serve his country and fight for your freedom then he is more than qualified to serve as a deputy and arrest these pieces of sh*t.
Nothing against Castle for sure. He is a great guy. Just having non certified special deputies is a huge liability for the county. He isn’t the issue but some of the special deputies the sheriff uses shouldn’t be allowed to wear a badge or be out there trying to play cop.
