I live in clay county. Don’t know the sheriff other than seeing him around. Can’t defend or confirm anything in the article. What I will say is The NY Times also wrote an article about a val/sal debacle in West Point a few years ago and it was 100% a racially based and biased hit piece where they made no mention of what actually caused the confusion and instead turned it into a rich white vs poor black issue, which couldn’t have been farther from the truth. So it will take much more than an article from them to make me come to a conclusion about anything.
