This is just a regurgitation of the press notice from the prosecutor. The real story is why this sheriff was arrested before being questioned about the allegations? Has the paper talked to Sheriff Finch? This is big news, being carried nationally. Governor Walker seems to be targeting a sheriff who has publicly stated his support for the 2nd amendment rights of the people he has been elected to protect. Apparently, the Governor doesn't like the choice of Liberty county residents to have a Sheriff represent their interests, and not the Governors.

Let the process work! If Finch is guilty of something then the evidence will show it. If not, he will be reinstated. The issue is not about the 2nd Amendment as that was just an excuse used to let the guy out of jail, it's not about whether a sheriff can let someone out of jail, which by the way they have the authority to do, it's about whether or not there was misconduct by attempting to hide something. THAT IS THE ISSUE. And to think the Governor knows Finch and act as though he made it personal is just silly. He doesn't know Finch other than maybe meeting him at some Sheriffs Association function with a bunch of other sheriffs. There has been several sheriff's removed by Florida Governors in the past. They are simply following law regarding an allegation which has been made against a public official. A judge signed the warrant which FDLE used to arrest Finch so there had to be probable cause. But probable cause doesn't mean a conviction. So let the facts come out in court and then everyone will know what happened instead of wondering or speculating. It amazes me what people believe.
