What hasn't this "elected" SOB done???
Very interesting Kingfish in light of this December 6th report.
WALTHALL, MISS. (AP) — A north Mississippi sheriff is stepping down.
Webster County Sheriff Tim Mitchell says he will retire on Jan. 2, citing poor health. Mitchell hasn't detailed the exact nature of his health concerns.
Timothy Seth Mitchell is a DEMOCRAT.
So he's stealing money, stealing guns and selling them illegally, screwing prisoners, tampering with evidence, threatening citizens who testify, selling drugs, and arming inmates.
That's a rather unorthodox interpretation of "to protect and serve".
Go look at a picture of this fatass with his three chins and his SportClips special. He's the dictionary definition of a backwater Mis'sippi Bubba. I'll bet a THOUSAND dollars he drives a pick-em-up truck when he ain't shaking down law abiding citizens in his county vehicle.
He's gonna be quite popular at Parchman.
Come on guys?! He's just another "good cop" doing his job. No way upstanding individuals like this would ever wrongly arrest someone or falsify evidence to get a conviction! No way he or his ilk would commit perjury on the stand! He is innocent until proven guilty!Everyone he has sent to prison was 100% guilty.
Sportsclip haircut?
You're one ignorant baw.
That is a New Iberia haircut.
Looks more like a Hot Coffee, Ms Cut to me
This won't play out well for him. Pretty good example of "reap what you sow."
Nothing in the world worse than a crooked cop. We hire those guys to be better than this and then they take an oath. '
He deserves whatever he gets and then some.
He fits in well with the rest of crooks in office, look at the president the biggest criminal president ever a GOP Republican Russian asset to the core.
one (1) Count of Attempting Sex and/or Sexual Acts with an Inmate
Clarification, please. Was that a female inmate?
Wait...not sure I want to know the answer to that.
I wonder what else he probably did before getting caught, asssuming he’s guilty of course.
Bad Cop! No Donuts!
sounds like the police chief in Fletch that was shaking down smokey and fat sam.
Just another day in Mississippi boys and girls.....nobody's watching anybody and that's why corruption runs rampant.
Literally just a very few miles down the road from that other "backwater Mis'sippi Bubba" up in Houston.
They will paint this guy as a Democrat, but I bet he didn't vote HRC.
This should also serve as wake up call to the other 82 local yocals.
If you are already dirty it's too late they are coming for you next.
Excellent Apocalypse Now reference. I think the same thing about every high sheriff in Mississippi. And community college or IHL president, etc. This guy's been shady for at least the past 5 years. I've heard rumors about him running drugs, guns, letting prisoners in his "care" go home at night, etc. Glad DPS got him. Hopefully the local DA won't cock it up like he has done 6 times in the Curtis Flowers case.
Where is his picture? Tired of wondering. Is he black or white?
MS - Leading the nation in corruption by public officials.
Not surprising this is every day rural Mississippi.
Don't know if this is the proper place for this, but seems as good as any. The Trumpsters are pissed at a whole swath of the MSGOP for the Cindy Lou-Who debacle (certainly plausible, if not likely). A fair number of career feds are pissed at the Trumpsters and at least some want to embarrass him (that is pretty much taken as a given). Mississippi is a "target-rich environment" for all sorts of federal crimes committed by officials (a statement of the obvious). Several fed agencies, particularly the FBI, IRS, BATF and SEC, have been sniffing around a variety of situations around Mississippi for several years (again, a statement of the obvious).
I've recently heard some scuttlebutt that a fair number of officials, from county/local up to state-level, and from a fairly broad cross-section of agencies, are targets. Would it really shock anyone to learn that many of those interviewed by the feds told them things that weren't true? The interesting thing is that there were rumors of the outgoing Obama DOJ had some fish to fry and might use southern states as a parting shot on rednecks and now, it is to embarrass Trump and his redneck supporters - the targets are the same, but the reasons supposedly different. It will be interesting to see if, a) anything comes of any of it, and b) who gets got and the speculation as to why.
1:22 - With one county sheriff arrested there can't be 82 others left since there ain't but 82 counties to begin with.
Oh snap! 10:50 is brilliant. It’s not that Mississippi would have a corrupt sheriff; no, it’s the deep state in the federal government targeting rednecks to further Obama’s globalist agenda and to wound the Great Orange leader.
That won’t be the last inmate he has sex with. At least he has practice
