It appears law enforcement in Jackson will be dragged through the mud yet again. The former Hinds County Chief Deputy sued Sheriff Victor Mason for sex discrimination, race discrimination, and sexual harassment yesterday in U.S. District Court. The complaint contains quite a few lurid allegations as former Chief Deputy Cheryl Matory accused Sheriff Mason of channeling his inner Bill Clinton by trying to use her to arrange sexual encounters with another employee. The complaint is posted below. Ms. Matory is represented by attorney Lisa Ross.
The complaint makes quite a few lurid allegations. Ms. Matory was a corporal at JPD before she became Chief Deputy. However, she served in that position for a short period of time before she was demoted. The case was assigned to U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola, Jr. The alleged facts of the case begin on the second page.
Attorney Claire Barker represents the Sheriff. She said "We have reviewed the Complaint and deny all allegations. We cannot offer any further comment due to the fact that this is now in litigation. The Sheriff and the Hinds County Sheriff's Office remains committed to the continued efforts to serve and protect the citizens of Hinds County."

Damn good case against Mason and I've seen more than a few at the workplace complaint level as well as the EEOC level. Based on what I just read, I see no way for Mason to escape justice.
Is there no end to this type of thing in Jackson and Hinds? Bracy Coleman, several years back, was the tip of the iceberg. Yarber was his own iceberg. And now, Mason emerges as a floater.
"I meant everybody loves Richard" is going to be a very poor defense.
Worked with Mason for years. He is a complete idiot. Can't extract urine from a boot when he wets himself.
Mason is a fraud, one and done. He is a complete idiot, pull his service record it's all fluff. He has never done anything in his 30 + plus years.
I'm thinking about going into law enforcement--
Let's see how much $$$$$$$ these thugs in authority will cost Hinds Co. And Jackson.
Sheriff Mason to wife, " honey I'll be home for dinner"!
It amazes me that the sheriff hires an unqualified undersheriff and demote/fire her months later. Sheriff Mason must have been thinking with the other head. SAD! Give them HELL Attorney Lisa Ross!
Well this administration didn't make it a year. It's a sad day for Hinds County. Mason should be ashamed and then have his head examined for putting Pete Luke at the helm. This ship is sinking boys!!!
He's much better qualified than Matory. In case you haven't noticed, she is not back at JPD.
Pete's been around the HCSO off and on for over 20 years he is dedicated and knows what he's doing!
As much as I hate that Sheriff Mac is gone, good thing he's not here to see all of this, after he put all of his trust and endorsement towards Mason.
1. Pete Luke is not qualified for that position. He was not grandfathered in as he stated. He is an Accountant.
Did Sheriff Mason send these text?
Seriously, we are treating a complaint filed by Lisa Ross as a strong complaint??
After reading this shining example of Jackson's finest I am not demoralized one stinking bit because tomorrow morning I will roll out of my bed and do my "happy dance" thanking GOD that I moved north and left that shit storm behind. Over and Out....
This has nothing to do with Lisa Ross. She is doing her job as an attorney. It has to do with Sheriff Mason.
And I say again, Did he send the messages and if so what was the meaning of those messages?
Paragraph 19, she "worked" to her car?
Having worked with Cheryl Matory I can honestly say she is one of the most unprofessional, discourteous, rude, and untruthful people I have ever worked with. She was the type of person that was so ignorant she thought holding a cell phone away from her head muted it. You would be on the phone with her after she called to ask you for something and she would hold the phone away from herself while muttering things like "Yeah.. you're a stupid M.....F..." She of course never realized that everyone could hear her when she did this but wondered why no one wanted to help her or deal with her anymore.
I don't doubt that she was fired for not doing her job since she was too busy being a personal trainer at gyms in Jackson during business hours. We all know the JPD motto though, "If you get fired for being a leech be sure to file a law suit!"
Innocent till proven guilty. He has done a great job. So far.
This is the tip of the iceberg for Ole Victor. We who've known him, always knew he was a fraud. We voted out Tyrone and we're going to do the Same to you Victor..
SPOONER FOR SHERIFF!
Pete Luke was voted in on a closed special Legislative session to receive his certification between 2008-2010.
R.W Spooner will be your next MacMillan people.
Victor's doing the exact same thing Tyrone did, surrounding himself with ignorance and incompetent people for political favors during his campaign run. This too will be his downfall.
Spooner's your new Mac people.
Don't jump ship later folks, we already know who you are.
10:59, while that true...it won't take long. This is an easy one.
How much will this cost the tax paying citizens of Hinds County ? Will this be mentioned in Victors weekly account to his followers on social media? Who let Pete Luke back in Hinds County? Wasn't he a die hard Tyrone man? He certainly stabbed Mac in the back a time or two. He is a great paper pusher though.
"What do these texts mean?"
Is there anybody out there who actually asks that question?
It means he wants some pussy and wants his girl to set him up. She wouldn't so he demoted both of them. A hard dick denied has a decidedly vindictive twist to the left.
How stupid must you be to axe that question!
Victors pre-election circle tried to warn him! When he got elected, he was like a gambler with the county's budget running around a casino!
He can redeem himself! Take a deep breath, put on you big boy pants, sit down with your loyal supporters and re-group. The people of Hinds County will forget all this shigity by the 4th of July. We love you Victor!!
Victors problems are only gonna get worse. Arrogance, and his ego will be his downfall. Same as Tyrone..They just can't help it, or get it..
One and done!
That's a false claim by a disgruntled employee who was demoted after given an opportunity to make history in a good way. When that opportunity was unable to be taken because of incompetence, she was demoted. Which provided her another opportunity to recover and work herself back into a position of authority. Instead, she threw in the towel and made outrageous allegations. Victor Mason will come out of this with his reputation in tact. He will continue to be a good sheriff for years to come.
Victor Mason is fraudulent as a law enforcement Officer. The real Mason has NEVER done anything, he perpetuates being a well oiled lawman. He is oblivious to the law never worked and real cases. He has had handouts his whole career. His arrogance is pitiful and his law enforcement acumen is atrocious. One term Sheriff, after 30 plus years of doing nothing it's time to take your old ass home.
5:57, very well put. He was hidden on Task Forces for his whole S.O career by McMillan. The kept text messages will be her proof that he did it ( That Simple )
He's been catered too and given his whole career by everybody.
Just wait till after the Mayors election, things will reveal themselves then.
Victor has managed to accomplish in six months, what took Tyrone three years to accomplish. Piss off EVERYBODY that voted for him and helped him get elected. Mark this Post, he'll lose by a Landslide in August..
Nobody who endorsed him will do it again..
Bye bye Victor.
It was all about your high 4 anyway.
August? 2019?
Mason has done a great job. Lots of Tyrone supporters on here. Either he sent the texts or not, time will tell. But he has been a better sheriff than his predecessor. No doubt.
"...will come out of this with his reputation in tact." Really?
"He will continue to be a good sheriff for years to come." Really?
Thanks Auntee.
You people could care less about the sexual indiscretions of elected officials. It's simply expected, part of the play-book, ho-hum, ordinary behavior.
Paraphrasing page 5 of the complaint:
“ What if the Hinds County Sheriff’s office smelled like ass ” .
If true, all I can say is Boy Howdy.
More of the same..Hinds County believes it's ok for its leaders to have sexual indiscretions as a prerequisite..
I.e. Robert Shuler Smith & Tony Yarber..
We'll vote all of you out and put INTEGRITY back in office.
Spooner for Sheriff.

King, in case you haven't noticed, good old fashioned politics are at play here.
