Judge Asked to Remove Corrupt Macon County (TN) Sheriff, Mark Gammons
Josh Kemp shared this story via CopBlock.org/Submit about a man who claims to uphold the law, but who acted otherwise in an attempt to keep his position of perceived authority. Props to those involved with Channel 4 I-Team investigations who weren’t afraid to look into these allegations.
Individual Responsible: Mark Gammons
Outfit: Macon County (TN) Sheriff’s Office
Phone: (615) 666-3325
Lawsuit filed to have sheriff removed for breaking the law… Fired employees for not supporting him in his political campaign.
From the post at KPTV.com by Jeremy Finley:
Among our findings, secretly recorded audio of the sheriff, in a meeting, that raised questions if he was sending his employees a message: support me politically, or lose your jobs.
In the recording, you can hear the sheriff say, “If you can’t support me, that’s fine. It’s hard to support you and sign your check.”
The lawsuit also mentions the firings of four employees, who claim their families supported Gammons’ opponent in the election.
