It's a black eye on our county officers who work hard to protect us and our families. We all know that a couple of bad apples doesn't ruin the basket but they sure do stink it up!

I can't imagine what their families are going though. One of the accused I know has school age children. Why would he risk being put in jail for a few dollars and losing out on his family?
