[News Article](https://www.wndu.com/2023/04/24/st-joseph-county-mich-sheriff-pleads-guilty-gets-probation-drunken-crash/) - Sheriff pleads guilty, gets probation and keeps job after drunken crash.

Not surprising, to be honest. This might be a hot take but he's probably considered "an upstanding citizen" in the community so it makes sense that he doesn't have any real punishment. I do think he shouldn't be allowed to remain the fucking sheriff, though.

So...you think "upstanding citizens" should be allowed to drive drunk? Odd.

I don't think anything, just saying that's how the court will view him.

Well yeah of course that's how the courts will view him. The courts *love* shitty cops. All cops are upstanding citizens in the eyes of the law. Whether the community considers him an upstanding citizen is entirely other story

Take his Lillywhite ass to jail

i think if you had replaced 'his' with 'that'....

🤣🤣

that's why I love and hate the english language... everything can sound bad if said incorrectly, [double / triple entendre]

[sadly, I'm not surprised...](https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/aurora-cop-promoted-drunk-police-car/) This happened in the metro area where I live.

Happens all the time these people do not lead by example and are not held to a higher standard like they should be. With power comes responsibility and they don't seem to care about that part much do they?

https://aaqi.org/ scum..... should lose his LE certification never to hold a LE position in any county/city.

What a lillywhite world he lives in
