Since moving to FL I began following and listening to Derrell Day's morning talk show and heard his few times mention Governor Scott suspending and arresting of Liberty County Sheriff Nick Finch for, what is said over standing up for law and order and the 2nd amendment, and well withing his authority as elected Sheriff. https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Derrell-Day-Show-Talk-Radio-1011FM-6-9AM-M-F/175376049173872

Reading the write up and reports on Facebook, news reports, etc, and as it says, the sheriff operated well withing his legal authority as a LEO and within State/County and local laws.  https://www.facebook.com/SupportForLibertyCountySheriffNickFinch/info

I'd like to help but want to be sure I have all the facts. What do you all know about this case? Is the Sheriff being screwed or was there something more to this case? Is Gov. Scott corrupt? https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/5Xbfe

Video report; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0prgiFh8K2M&feature=youtu.be

there is a thread in here about this

According to evidence uncovered after interviews, under oath, with several of his deputies/employees, the Sheriff destroyed/altered evidence of an arrest. That is illegal. If the reports are true, he is going to spend time in prison.

can't argue with that



 

yup a lot of stupidity in those threads.

Finch got elected and began doing exactly what every other sheriff in that tiny county has done: ran it like the place belonged to him. Unfortunately for Finch, he forgot that enemies don't just go away once you win, and there are such a thing as spies in the camp. One of the phrases most telling about the entire situation was "He ain't from here."

Is it true Finch actually didn't break the law in this case because the prisoner he released was never officially charged with a crime and thus Finch was within his rights to be rid of the records? Which, from what I'm reading was the case and the Gov's office may be wrong here?

We'll fimd out when and if he gets a trial.

Well, since the sheriff's office does not charge people, they arrest them, no the prisoner had not yet been charged. But that is neither here nor there. The sheriff does not have authority to alter/destroy records of the arrest.
