Sheriff Dan Rhodes Would Never Do This

Police: Okla. Sheriff Ran Sex-Slave Operation From Jail - Oklahoma City News Story - KOCO Oklahoma City: "ARAPAHO, Okla. -- An Oklahoma sheriff resigned after an investigation reveals he was running a sex-slave operation from his jail, police said.

Michael Burgess surrendered to Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation agents and posted bond Wednesday night, hours after he resigned as Custer County sheriff amid 35 felony charges, including accusations of forcible oral sodomy, kidnapping, rape and perjury. Investigators said at one point Burgess oversaw wet T-shirt contests at the Custer County Jail."

No, Dan's a nice guy. Plus he's a bit addled from all those beatings.

OK...how the hell did that guy, even as a now ex-sheriff, get a bail set? Local Spitzers as customers?

Sheriff Dan would never do such a thing but I ain't too sure about Lawton.

Be interesting to see how many of the county bigwigs are going to take the fall with him.

The county DA here was defeated last election back in November after serving six 4 year terms. He had been under investigation by the FBI for some years and before he left office they confiscated his papers and his safe. Reportedly the safe had a film of him getting head from one of the local prostitutes that had been arrested. He's one of those good looking personable guys with a pretty nice looking wife. Supposedly the local weekly that tells "the political truth of the county" reported that he recently moved back in with his estranged wife. He was also under criticism for the increase in crime especially in drugs and prostitution since about ten years ago a black gang from Detroit began taking over crime in an area not far from where I live (I jokingly call it "The Dark Territory", but locals call it The Hill and L.A. for Little Africa). I drive past a house with AK 47 bullet spray where a crack house shoot out occurred several months ago several times a day and often have the (mostly white) whores (pimped out for drug money by black boyfriends or husbands)wave at me in a very friendly manner to entice me to avail myself of their wares (I opt to go home and exercise my prostrate :-)). It saddens me to drive through the area and see this. Mostly old guys cruising the area picking the women up. ::sigh:: I need to get the Bat suit out of the Batcave's Crime Museum and start making night patrols again.

A couple of years ago the defeated County sheriff was under federal investigation and a former sheriff some years back under investigation opted to eat his gun rather than have his wife, kids and grandkids subjected to the details of his corruption.

What amuses me is that in the 21 years I've lived in this house I could count on both hands the times I've seen the township police patrol our dead end street, even when I'd call trying to get them to enforce the burning ordinance. Yet a couple of weeks ago an African American woman and her teenage son moved into the rental house behind our house and in the last week I've seen the police patrol the street most every day.

That, and when wifey and I rented a table to sell some stuff at the mall across town (which was spruced up several years ago and changed over to more upscale chain stores and given a name change )for a "garage sale" event, (and I'm no fan of PC bullshit, I noticed that the bathroom for us hombres was labeled "MEN" and the one for the fairer sex was labeled, "GIRLS."
