4. Yeah, this was a monumental screw up by the Sheriff and the prosecutor,

it was only after the news station reported on this that the charges were dropped and he was released from jail.
Makes on wonder just how far the prosecutor was willing to take this if not for the news story.



And the judge setting his bail at 2 million dollars was way out of line.

I hope he bankrupts this county, this should be an easy lawsuit, hell, it probably won't even make it to trial, the county and all those involved will probably offer a settlement.

Hopefully, this Sheriff and the Prosecutor face consequences for this illegal arrest and false imprisonment, along with the violations of his 1st, 4th and 8th Amendment rights.
