SEVERAL THINGS WENT TERRIBLY
WRONG!

LET’S GET RIGHT TO IT.
THAT INMATE WAS SOMEHOW ABLE TO
JAM THE LOCK ON HIS CELL DOOR.
THAT ENABLED HIM TO GET OUT AND
LAUNCH A SNEAK ATTACK ON THIS
SHERIFF’S DEPUTY WHO IS
ABSOLUTELY BELOVED.
ABSOLUTELY BELOVED.
THE ATTACK LASTED 20-30 MINUTES!

SOURCES THAT THE DEPUTY’S
PARTNER SHOULD HAVE BEEN WITH
HIM BUT HE WAS NOT.

DANGEROUS CRIMINALS IN AMERICA

COUNTY JAIL BUT THE 100-YEAR-OLD
COUNTY JAIL WITH OLD SLIDING BAR
DOORS.

LONG HISTORY OF ARMED ROBBERIES
AND CARJACKINGS AND WAS ABLE TO
OPEN HIS CELL DOOR.
>> HE WAS VICIOUSLY AASSAULTED
BY ONE OF THE INMATES.

MAKING SURE THE DOOR WAS LOCKED.

WAS ABLE TO BLOCK FROM IT BEING
LOCKED.

HIS PARTNER WAS NOT WITH HIM AND
SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

EVERYONE WAS AT THE TIME THIS
OCCURRED AND WE WILL FIND OUT IF
OCCURRED AND WE WILL FIND OUT IF
PEOPLE WERE WHERE THEY SHOULD
HAVE BEEN DURING THE COURSE OF
WHAT TRANSPIRED.
>> Shawn: BACK HERE LIVE AT THE
JAIL.
I AM TOLD BY SOURCES THAT THE
ISSUE OF THE PARTNER NOT BEING
WITH CORPORAL SEARCY IS A MAJOR
PROBLEM HERE!
THE TWO SHOULD HAVE BEEN
TOGETHER.
THAT IS UNDER AN INTERNAL
INVESTIGATION.
DPD HAS LAUNCHED A HOMICIDE
INVESTIGATION.
THE INMATE IS IN CUSTODY OF DPD

I HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH
JOHN JOHNSON OF THE MHSAA AND
SAID IT CAN BE DONE SAFELY.
>> SCHOOLS WERE DOING A GOOD JOB
DURING SUMMER PRACTICES, AS FAR
AS KEEPING KIDS SAFE AND ACTING
QUICKLY.
WHEN A CASE OF COVID WAS
SUSPECTED OR DETECTED, AND WE
THINK WE CAN DO A BETTER JOB

STEPPING UP TO GIVE KIDS ANOTHER
OPTION, SHOULD FOOTBALL HAVE TO
BE ON THE SIDELINES THIS FALL.

CAROLINA VOTERS SHOULD TEST THE
STATE’S ELECTION SYSTEM BY
VOTING BY MAIL FIRST AND THEN
TRYING TO VOTE IN PERSON.
>> THEY’LL GO OUT AND VOTE AND
HAVE TO CHECK THEIR VOTE BY
GOING TO THE POLL AND VOTING
THAT WAY BECAUSE IF IT
TABULATES, THEY WON’T BE ABLE TO
DO THAT.
LET THEM SEND IT IN AND LET THEM
GO VOTE, AND IF THEIR SYSTEM IS
AS GOOD AS THEY SAY IT IS, THEY
WON’T BE ABLE TO VOTE.
IF IT ISN’T TABULATED, THEY’LL
BE ABLE TO VOTE.

DRIVER’S LICENSE DATABASE AND WE
MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY WHO IS
VOTING ARE TRULY ELIGIBLE.
>> Jamie: THE CLERK’S OFFICE
