cops fail simple jobs

Pasco Sheriff’s Deputies arrested Tallie Gainer III for check fraud. He didn’t do it. The real criminal used Gainer’s name, but left his own thumbprint on the bad check.
Eight months passed before the Pasco Sheriff’s Office decided to compare the thumbprint to Gainer’s.
EIGHT freakin’ MONTHS.
In the meantime, Gainer and his wife missed work to attend court. He lost his deposit on a real estate deal. His savings dried up. And he lost his chance to bid on a laundromat.
So he’s rightly suing the Sheriff. And your tax money will pay.
Sure wish there was something we could do about that.

I live in West Pasco. The Elections for Sheriff are coming up, I guess we’ll see if “we” actually do anything about this type of shoddy investigative work.
Ride it like you stole it

*sigh* Way to go, Pasco. You make it tough to defend law enforcement with antics like this.
