this man was very disrespectful to the citizens and was not there to help us he was there to try to make peoples lives a living hell and now he feels what it is like to be behind the bars he was putting us behind. we need to blame it on the mayor vicki stroud and councilmen david neel they are the ones who brought this problem to oakwood. this is a small knit community not a large city.

[Shame On Oakwood]

I know several people that he stopped, including myself, the guy was a jerk. I hate to see anyone have something bad happen to them, but in this case I beleive you reap what you sew applies. This revenue agent has given Oakwood a bad name, and The City of Oakwood has some blame to take here as well - they should have looked a this background better and read between the lines. When I searched his backgound I find he has at least 5 to 6 policiing jobs in his 10 year career... duh?, red flag, doesn't seem to stay very long in any one job, wonder why that is? maybe he wasn't what the other jobs wanted? Next time Oakwood, try and hire someone who is firm, but fair, is able to make good decisions, see's nothing wrong with a warning if it gets the job done, and is respected in the public's eyes. In otherwords hire an real officer, not a revenue agent, OR was it a revenue you were looking for?
