At first, I was shocked and put the man down, until the news lady on another station gave details about some recent truama he'd experienced. She said he'd lost his wife in July and then the election. I lightened up and felt empathy for the reason why this happened, however, it is no excuse. He is lucky he didn't kill anyone, and I'm glad for his sake he didn't. Also w/ the status he had, it's a shame.
I feel sympathy that he must miss his wife, but we just can't go around driving drunk. Heck, I am devastated over the election results, but I didn't go out and get drunk and drive over it.

we all have problems...he doesn't go to jail because he is an x-sheriff?? You have a double system in Teays Valley...and he hasn't even gone before the Magistrate yet??? guess he'll get a slap on the wrist from the good ole boys at the court house and be sent free...that is wrong..is he too good to see the inside of the jail...especially when he hit a woman??? double standard Putnam County. Good thing that wasn't you or I or we'd be locked up.

Yes Putnam County has a strange system If you are in the click, most things get ignored. All of the local deputies know who the drug sellers are in the neighborhoods. Even the white collar drug sellers. They dont want involved, because they may expose a friend or take a chance on losing their job.

Yeah its funny how that piece Shannon Jones always got out of trouble for all the trouble he gets into. Looks like daddy doesnt care to pull strings in the good ole boy polictics club. One day he is going to over do it on crystal meth and overdose.
