A good reporter would have found what the investigation was about from a confidential source, and would have reported what the chief deputy was under investigation for.

Yeah some people handle things differently mr garrett? dont they. do we know of anyone who got into it with another officer at the morgan county courthouse about 12 years ago?

The two officers who got into at the morgan county courthouse about 12 years ago, who were they and what did they get into it about? Does Mr. Garrett know the answer to that as well, was that situation handled 100 percent right?

WOW A MYSTERY NOVEL IN THE MAKEING--STAY TUNED

No mystery william, just a case of folks judging others and casting stones when they have forgot about their past and the things they did. More than just one thing also. They could have had a confrontation in a store parking lot with another officer a few years ago. Maybe people should just think before they start passing judgement on others and remember their past and issues they have dealt with and have a little compassion. Everyone makes mistakes.

SHRIFF MITCHELL SHOULD BE COMMENDED FOR HIS EFFORD IN FINDING THE FACTS AND NOT LETTING EVERYTHING BE HUSH HUSH. SHERIFF MITHELL MAY THE BLESS YOU AND YOUR OFFICE FROM SCANT-CITY ,AL. MARSHALL COUNTY

Why doesn't Garrett work in Trinity anymore?

John from Hartselle, That is a very interesting question maybe the DD should ask him why he no longer works in Trinity.

Sheriff Mitchell should be commended for his transparency and for looking into complaints.

Hazel is one of the biggest idiots in Moulton..........

Hey guy, Where are you from? HILLSOBORO or Hillsboro? Seems to me if you live there, you would know how to spell it.

So, what is Knighten suspended for?? There's got to be some juicy gossip out there...

Guy your still mad because i burst your bubble about jack steele, you said he was such a great coach but no one will hire him, wonder why?

Mr. Garrett wants to give his opinion on issues why dont he give his opinion on the above listed issues about trinity and morgan county court house.
