Jones says he offers fresh perspective for sheriff’s office
read more recent story comments Reader comments| Living In Reality Thursday, April 1, 2010: 1:18 pm More from Living In Reality  | My vote is for Bob Jones. He is the right man for the job. Anybody who votes for any of the candidates that currently work at the Sheriff's Department is crazy. It's time for the "good ol' boy club" to be dispanded. |
| Greg Thursday, April 1, 2010: 2:54 pm More from Greg | I'm voting for Jones. I've had far too many deputies tell me that they like the other guys, but don't trust them to be "their" sheriff. I agree with Living... the good ole boys need to sit on the porch for a spell. |
| A Hoosier Thursday, April 1, 2010: 3:25 pm More from A Hoosier | As much as I hate to say it, because I personally like most of the candidates, I will have to vote for Mr. Jones as well. He seems more like the Andy Taylor kind of guy and I think that is exactly what I am looking for. I always thought Andy was a pretty cool cat. |

| Arse Thursday, April 1, 2010: 5:43 pm More from Arse | I think I'd prefer my sheriff have AT LEAST a high school diploma. Doesn't appear from his bio that Mr. Jones does. |
| Greg Thursday, April 1, 2010: 8:34 pm More from Greg | It's been made quite obvious in the past 36 hrs that training and experience do not always make for good law enforcement. I'd much rather have a guy with common sense. I don't know if Jones has a diploma or not, but I know some of our current problems do, and I'm willing to chance throwing the baby out with the bathwater. These thugs need to GO. |

It may be time to bring a fresh face with some common sense ideas to this position. |
| Ratcatcher Friday, April 2, 2010: 7:12 pm More from Ratcatcher | Smiling Bob has my vote. He is an outsider and that is exactly what the department needs. Foxes in charge of henhouses don't work! Hopefully the voters in Madison township understand this and will not vote a bunch of firefighters to the board and trustee positions. |
| Themanishere Friday, April 2, 2010: 7:39 pm More from Themanishere | First Mr Jones does not have the back ground to be sheriff. He hasnt even been through what half those guys have been through. Aka the academy and training every month since. Yes Mr jones is a people person but look at who he is going to put in as his Chief Deputy! We all know Mr Weddle will be running the place that is if our Sheriff now does in fact retire. If not where are they going to get the money or spot for these two guys? Yes they can Make a spot for the Sheriffs position but not a chief deputy. So is Terry weddle going to work for a Jail officers Salary? Highly dont think so. Morgan County we need to wake up. You know and I know that half the crap most candidates put in the paper isnt even true. Just like Mr Ringer. 3100 dollars to paint the cars the traditional Sheriffs colors? No actually it is around 5 or 600 dollars. Call the current Sheriff and ask him to see the paper work, because im sure he has it and would be willing to show you. I guess if we want liars, and snakes in as our Sheriff go ahead and vote Jones or Ringer. As some of the deputies have already found out ( including reserves) they have found out the Mr Ringer will hang you out to dry or stab you in the back in a heart beat or as soon as you disagree with him. Mr Garner well done in 8 years. You have done a exceptional job and all the deputies I have talked to even 2 ( Beaver and Downey) that are running have nothing but good things to say about you and how far you have brought that department. Just remember people no matter if you agree or disagree with me just come out and Vote in May. Lets have a record turn out!!! See ya at the poles!!!! Downey for Sheriff, Manley for Washington Twp trustee, and Meridith for Washington Twp Board!!!! Happy Easter everyone |
| Cuda Saturday, April 3, 2010: 6:04 am More from Cuda | I am voting for Jones. He has several years experience. He has responded to homicides, burglaries, and many violent crimes in progress. He has worked the jail so he has a great understanding of how to maintain order with the inmates, and stay within the budget. He realizes that when we do jail transports with violent offenders that we can stop at the local LP gas companies and fill er up going to and from the state prisons throughout the state at all hours. He is going to hire mature jail officers with bachelors degrees to work for $12.00 an hour from midnight to eight. We will skip buying patrol cars for a year and then order 14 instead of seven the following year. That makes great sense. We can blow out our maintenance budget on cars with over 120000 miles on them. Heck, I can't wait to press the button on the booth. Keep smiling Bob! |
| Living In Reality Saturday, April 3, 2010: 11:04 am More from Living In Reality | To Themanishere: I don't know what planet you are living on. But the Sheriff's Department that has been run by Gardner in the past 8 years is a joke. Mr. Gardner didn't even have the common human deciency to show up in person and inform my family that our loved one had died in his jail. Who does that? Let me just tell you how experienced the current Sheriff's Department employees are. No jail video tape because it was erased, no coroner's report and no cooperation from the Sheriff equals a dead 24 year old man. Gardner is ultimately responsible. Doesn't sound like a great 8 years to me. |
| Themanishere Saturday, April 3, 2010: 12:22 pm More from Themanishere | Living, So its the Sheriffs fault your relative swallowed ample amount of pills to try and hide them?? Hmm sounds like your saying Garner made him do that when he broke the law and got pulled over! Wake up living because if your relative wouldnt have tried to be the big man and swallow all his illegal drugs he probably would be here. Oh and by the way I believe you spell the Sheriffs name GARNER with no D dumb*** |
