A Larry Harrison and Shirley Sons Fact Rap

[Anonymous]

If Larry Harrison is elected sheriff of Lexington County all private citizens would have to get zipper locks. Larry was busted bumping the uglys with another deputy's wife. This is the reason he is running for sherrif, not because he can do a better job. He's just mad - boo hoo-hoo.

[Anonymous]

Fact! Shirley Sons was reprimanded publicly by the S.C. Supreme Court for her inappropriate behavior in the court room. If the people wanted to see a live Judge Judy all they had to do was go to her court room. Her actions were as immature as a child and she had absolutely no respect for the public. Thank God she is gone.

I have to give it to Larry he picks good looking girls to screw. So if he is willing to screw a deputy's wife, wouldn't you think he would screw up other people's lives. No Lexington doesn't need problems, Metts is doing an excellent job. Re-Elect Metts for Sheriff.

Re-Elect Senator Jake Knotts!!! Shirley Sons is a hag with bag full of crap. Keep walking you don't have what it takes, and the people of Lexington County knows it by your performance. Jake Knotts has been there for the people of Lexington and of South Carolina.

Supporters of Harrison, Sons and anybody else but the Good Ol' Boys, can you smell it? Come on, take it in real deep, got it! That my fine friends is the smell of DESPERATION!

Larry was busted bumping the uglys with another deputy's wife.

Assuming this to be true, then why hasn't a certain Captain been fired for having an affair/living with the wife (now divorced) of a recently promoted Deputy. I thought we were accredited and ALL matters are handled equally! I guess Larry didn't contriute enough to any of #1's campaigns!

[Anonymous]

Mo Joe, you sound more like small man, with a small ego, who probably has a small (need I say more) who's been bitten once or twice by a straying wife, than a man who has all his facts.

I read the info on Harrison. I also recently learned that he took a lie detector test and the Sheriffs Department didn't want to hear the truth.

Oops, did I say TRUTH!!! Because that is what the Lie Detector test stated. Mr. Harrison told the truth when he stated that he DID NOT sleep with someone elses stray.

Which brings me to a better point. Speaking of sleeping with Strays, how about the fact that your holier than thou crotch grabbing, no sheriffing Metts has a little Ms. Thang on the side too. I guess that makes him a bad Sheriff as well.

Because lord knows, whoever your bedmate is in this race determines the criteria for running as Sheriff of Lexington County.. Get a Grip son.. You need to have bigger guns than the plastic toys your playing with now. Find another website to pollute with your babble, no one's biting here!

[Anonymous]

You idot,

There are some police officers who have been trained to pass a lie detector. Larry if know who knows how to. I mean....do it...ah, with Joel's wife.

Reality check, REALITY, you sound an awful lot like Larry himself. If you don't like the heat get off the beat and patrol your school kids in Richland County.

If Larry, REALITY, or whoever created this site should know that what goes around comes around. SO GO AHEAD AND SIT IN YOUR GLASS HOUSE AND THROW STONES AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

BRING IT ON.... :lol:

[Anonymous]

You know what DUMBASS, you are right about one thing, people who live in glass houses SHOULD NOT throw stones. Let the mud slinging begin. How's this for fact: Larry Harrison is not by far the first person to be accused of sleeping around at LCSD. He however is one of the few who lost his job over a sex scandal. There use to be a saying that if you wanted to get laid, all you had to do was go to work at LCSD. That stuff has been going on for years. But let's not lose track of things. There is a list of people about 2 miles long, who could very easily be named that have done a lot worse with other officers husbands and wives(while on duty). Hell, it's even happened under the Sheriff's roof, in his bathroom, jail, you name the place, it's been christened. My next point is that if all this is true about Larry and Joel's wife, why are both couples still together? Joel didn't feel the need to divorce his cheating wife, so why all the ruckus over Larry. His wife doesn't believe the crap either. If you don't think this kind of thing goes on, let me know and I will fill you in. Rumor is one of the things that LCSD thrives on. So whether Harrison is elected or not, we still need a new leader in Lexington Co. Also, if you don't like Harrison supporters, perhaps you should start a Re-elect Metts Forum of your own. That way your feeling won't get hurt.

[Anonymous]

Yeah ! That's the ticket ! Start a re-elect jimmy "I was just looking for my balls" site ! I need another forum to say Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick...your time is just about up jimmy boy :wink:

[quote="MO JOE - JOE JOE"]If Larry Harrison is elected sheriff of Lexington County all private citizens would have to get zipper locks. Larry was busted bumping the uglys with another deputy's wife.

Oh my God! I don’t believe it! Did that doofus actually use the phrase “bumping the uglies ?” Can’t you just see Moe Joe, You a Dumb Ass and Guest standing in the school yard, their nasty little hands wrapped around a potted meat and onion sandwich, chewing and snickering about catching Moe Joe’s brother and sister behind the wellhouse bumping the uglies. That phrase was cool for about fifteen minutes in 1973. These days, the only people who use it have mullet haircuts and aren’t getting any. I’ll bet these guys refer to the ninth grade as their “senior year.” But I digress…

Finally, the “big bomb” has been dropped by the Crotch Doctor’s crowd. What a shock. What a surprise. Boy, were we caught looking the other way on this one. What are we gonna do now? Will you get real for a change? Who did NOT know that Jimmy the Crotch was going to bust the crust on this one?

First of all, Harrison claims he took a polygraph and passed it on this issue. Now, according to You a Dumb Ass, the police are taught how to beat this kind of examination. I have just finished talking to about half a dozen cops and you know what? Every one of them missed that class. They didn’t even know it was offered. I think You a Dumb Ass has his head up his ass on this one.

What about Ms. Huggins? Has she taken a polygraph? Has she been asked to take a polygraph? Apparently, Jimmy the Crotch just took her word for it. The Crotch Doctor’s folks seem to want to portray her as some sort of victim. It takes two to tango, or bump the uglies as Moe Joe would say. What about Mr. Huggins? Doesn’t he bear some responsibility if this affair in fact took place? Had he been “on the job” Ms Huggins would not have strayed. No body has demanded that he be punished for his negligence. Has he taken a polygraph? Was this a long term affair that Ms Huggins willingly and knowingly engaged in, or did she just drop her knickers on demand? Which one was it? Which ever it supposedly was, she would have known full well what she was doing. She is a full grown adult and it is simply wrong for the only person to suffer for this event, if it even happened, to be Harrison.

There is a simple way to settle this. Have Harrison and Jimmy the Crotch both take polygraph exams pertaining to marital fidelity. Let’s see who passes and who fails. For that matter, let’s just line up all the deputies and test them all. If Jimmy the Crotch is gonna fire one man for this kind of thing, then he ought to fire everybody who is suspected of the same behavior.

By the way, there was mention made of Shirley Sons being reprimanded by the Supreme Court. It seems to me that I remember our Solicitor getting a pretty good going over by that crowd. I guess this means that the Crotch Doctor’s boys do not approve of the job he is doing either. Personally, I think he is the best prosecutor this circuit has ever had…..and all we share are initials.

I think Harrison is going to be the best Sheriff Lexington County has ever had. It is a shame it took an injustice to turn him into a candidate. However, the Lord moves in mysterious ways his wonders to perform. Don’t take my word for it; ask around the Sheriff’s office. The smart money is on Harrison to carry the Department.

You had better come up with something better than “bumping the uglies” if you plan to avoid a real embarrassing election night. Seriously, how many people do you think really give a crap about this anyway? It’s not like he was fixing traffic tickets.

June 8th approaches with wings………………….

[Anonymous]

i have no idea how many at the lcsd has been removed from thier job for, let's say other reasons. but i do know that a great many and i mean many are back in uniform. why? seems to me if one is hired back, then why shouldn"t the rest?

[Anonymous]

Sounds like you got a small toy to sugar. By the way, I am a female and most definately not Harrison and not running for Sheriff. But, hey nice of you to point out to the public that police officers are trained to pass lie detector test. I wonder why they are so popular for you to use against citizens.

You sound more like a disgruntled child who's had his flakes pissed into once or twice. Talk about being a dumb a$%. That's exactly what your childish banter appears to be on this website. Perfect name for a perfect asshole.

Reality this.. Grow up and stop your whining. I don't know who Joel is and don't really care. But, if he can't keep his wife at home and tamed, that's not my problem or any other citizen of SC. That's his problem. Thats where you idiots screw up. I do HR for a living.

This sounded more like retrobution for a rumor gone bad than an actual legitimate termination by SC Labor Law Standards. But, then your just a dumb a#@ and know nothing about what equal employment and free speech are about. Grow up cowboy, your green is starting to show.

Reality check.. Your right!!! GET ONE!!!

[Anonymous]

I spoke to a number of my police friends, Columbia, Highway, Academy Richland and Lexington Counties, and they have NO IDEA of what Dumb Ass; the name fits you, is talking about when you say Officer's are taught how to beat a lie detectors test. They say it can be done, but it take a "cold hearted" person, who has no concious. They say there is no classes in existance. So Dumb Ass you need to do a little more B.S. homework before you try to start more B.S. rumors. Tick, Tick Tick

[Anonymous]

Just for kicks I called to Academy today and asked to sign up for the Beat The Polygraph 101 class. They had one question: What DUMBASS told you we offer such training? I rest my case.

[Anonymous]

Last time i took a polygraph, the examiner said that all cops usually fail.

[Anonymous]

Truth - Nearly every single member of Harrison's drug unit had to be reassigned because of his "training" on how to make cases. If you really want to see what kind of sheriff he would make, look at the conviction rates on the cases that he and his team made. Evidence was lost and arrest numbers were all that mattered. The convictions that were made were plea negotiations much lower than the original charge because the cases stank!!
As for Sons - as a person she is a very nice lady. As a judge, she stunk up the place. She was reprimanded, but for allowing staff to sign her name to documents, which is illegal. Her rulings were questionable at best and people were treated bad in court. She even checked into suing to get her position back. When that fell through, she decides to run. No experience, no prior desire for political office. It is nothing but revenge. No group asked her to run.

I do not agree with alot of Knotts or Metts stances, but voting for these two would even be worse.

[Anonymous]

sounds like someone doesn't know what they are talking about....must be a metts supporter clouding the water....surprizing...not!..in fact the members of harrisons drug unit have moved on to bigger things...lets see...one is a judge, one a dea agent, one a sled agent, one is the head narcotics instructor at our state academy, one a sgt of spec ops, need i go on....if you are going to open your mouth...know what you are talking about...idiot!

[Anonymous]

Please give names of these people. The Sgt. in charge of spec ops was removed from the drug task force alltogether because he was worthless. He now sets up cameras, which in most departments is done by techs. The DEA agent was trained by the DEA not Harrison. He was a member of the DEA task force and not even under Harrison exept on paper. The rest of your post is complete bull. If you know so much, name one Harrison Drug agent that is still even in the drug task force. One of the leaders of Harrisons drug team is gone to LA. Completly out of the sheriffs office because he was going to get reasigned. I can name names. Can you?

[Anonymous]

I also forgot to add, using 500 unit does nothing but show your complete ignorance. If I was a betting person, I would wager that you are one of Harrison's boys who got reassigned. Like maybe Kitchens, gone or Lorick, moved to investigations, or Simms, moved to investigations, or Oxendine, moved into a created position so he wouldnt be fired. Its also interesting that you sidestep the issue of Harrisons effectivness altogether.

[Anonymous]

Wait a minute Tom, if you are trying to make Jimmy the Crotch look good by making Harrison look bad, then your efforts are a dog’s breakfast. Now, I’m not a deputy and I never have been, so I will tell you straight up that I don’t know who was assigned to Harrison or when they were assigned to him. But if what you are saying is true, then it certainly brings the leadership of the LCSD into question.

Harrison was the supervisor over the narcotics unit for some period of time. Exactly who do you think put him there? Harrison, according to his website, was a deputy for around 16 years. It is not as if Jimmy the Crotch was dealing with some unknown quantity. If Jimmy the Crotch was dissatisfied with Harrison’s job performance, why didn’t he take corrective action? The inference is that Jimmy the Crotch must have been completely satisfied with Harrison’s unit’s productivity and, by extension, the training he was providing to his subordinates. It was only after Harrison announced that he was running for Sheriff that Jimmy the Crotch’s supporters, such as you, decided that Harrison must not have been doing his job.

You say that the Sgt. In charge of special ops (whatever that covers) was removed because he was worthless. Well, once again, the question is; if he is worthless how did he ever get to be a Sgt? Who is the person in charge over on Gibson Road who keeps making these boneheaded personnel decisions? The buck, in more ways than one, stops at Jimmy the Crotch’s desk. Jimmy the Crotch can’t seem to make a single personnel decision that you find anything less that despicable. You may want to consider that when you cast your vote on June 8th.

You say that the deputy who was hired by DEA was under Harrison “only on paper.” What does that mean? You make it sound like nobody knew where this guy was supposed to be working; even the people responsible for hiring and assigning him. The only thing I can make out from what you say is that somebody assigned to Harrison was hired by the DEA. I believe most reasonable folks would find that more a testament of Harrison’s positive influence rather than evidence of dereliction.

Isn’t it a coincidence that, all of a sudden, nobody associated with Harrison’s unit is worth a damn? Nobody noticed a thing until you miraculously put two and two together. Jimmy the Crotch didn’t have a clue, Sheriff James didn’t see a thing, not one Colonel, Major, Captain, Lieutenant or Vice-Admiral over on Gibson Road saw what an abysmal gang of incompetents the narcotics unit was until you, with your keen eye for detail, put it all together. Thanks. I am more convinced than ever that we need a new Sheriff.

[heggas]

Just to add some truth some of the names you shedded light on. All of the names you listed voluntarily switched to investigations and/or the road as a way of promotion. Anyone who is anyone at LCSD knows that being a Major Crimes Detective at Headquarters is the only way to be noticed by those that matter.

Kitchens moved out of state for personal reasons. Lorick requested to be moved to Major Crimes and then (I guess because of his lack of adequate training) was promoted to Patrol Sergeant. Sims requested a lateral transfer to Major Crimes (which was granted). Oxendine tested and was promoted to a Crime Scene Investigator.

Wow--I guess Harrison trained his guys so bad that the Sheriff has intrusted many of them with solving very high profile cases.

Go try you theory somewhere else because from what I see -- Harrison did his job as a Supervisor.

[Anonymous]

the dea agent never worked for the dea task force, only correll, kitchens, sims and burke did while larry was there..heggas covered most of the rest...thanx heggas...as far as larry being supervisor...he was sgt. for just over a year after peake made lt. during the time that peake and harrison worked in the unit peake worked days and harrison worked the nights...peake was moved to asst. commander of hqtrs region. you are the one who wasn't there and probably never would have been...in narcotics you have to be able to walk the walk to talk the talk...a quality you wouldn't understand...as for the cases being plea bargained down...that goes on everyday with all kinds of cases...idiot...as for the rest of harrison's team...there are still a couple left...even the ones from cayce who came over with tiny tim...next!

[Anonymous]

Tom,
The Narcs have no power over plea bargaining cases, thats done by the solicitors office.
If evidence was lost, then thats an evidence room problem.
Harrison had no control over either of these.

[Anonymous]

I was there and am. No member of the drug team wanted to leave. Harrisons idea of drug investigation was jump outs in black areas. Since his departure Meth has been in the news an awful lot. Think it just showed up since Harrison left? Go check the stats. There were very few meth lab busts under Harrison. The CI's under Harrison stank. Under Harrison arrests were the key, not convictions. Under Harrison, evidence was kept by the officers in lockers I believe. Drugs were kept separate from the evidence room. A drug agent got hooked and was dismissed. Which lead to drug evidence being put in the evidence room. It also lead to accredidation and the creation of the drug task force. As problems arose, they were handled, but the problems stemmed from Harrison and his leadership. I am through with arguing with ignorance. Anyone who reads this can go find out for themselves who speaks the truth.

This is my last post on a worthless web site. I thought that for once Lexington County had somewhere to seek the truth. I was wrong. I appears that idiots prevail here. I can only hope that does not roll over in the voting booth.

[Anonymous]

Tom,
Good ridance...

[Anonymous]

Sugarfree, I could not have said it better myself. Tom thought he was gonna drop a bombshell, but all he did was bomb.

[Anonymous]

Tom......that narc you are talking about that got hooked was robert doray, and let the truth be known d. peake was over narcotics at that time, not harrison. when harrison took over he was accountable for everything his guys did and they were required to be accountable to him, not running wild like peake let them do

WELL...LETS TALK ABOUT THE METH PROBLEM THAT SUDDENLY SHOWED UP...IF YOU WERE IN THE KNOW AS YOU SAY...YOU WOULD KNOW ABOUT THE 2 OR 3 GUYS WHO MOVED INTO S.C. FROM OHIO AND TAUGHT THE REDNECKS IN PELION AND SWANSEA HOW TO MAKE THE STUFF CHEAPLY...OH, BY THE WAY THE METH LAB OUTBREAK SAVED ONE NARC'S CAREER AS HE WASN'T DOING ANYTHING ELSE UNTIL THEN...BUT, THAT IS ANOTHER STORY...OH, AND TOM AS THE DOOR HITS YOU IN THE REAR ON YOUR WAY OUT WITH YOUR TAIL BETWEEN YOUR LEGS....IF YOU ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT AT LEAST HAVE WALKED IT...YOU, IDIOT, HAVE NOT....BYE..BYE...

[Anonymous]

just setting record straight,
D. Peake was the Supervisor over Narcs and Harrison was the Sgt.
Harrison was one of the best Narcs there was, Timmy came and changed everything, the only people that were not effected by timmy coming was the road deputies, other than the were asked to do more with less.

[Anonymous]

First I would like to point out that cursing and namecalling is the first sign of ignorance and desperation. It shows that the person is small minded and really has nothing worth listening to or reading to say.
Second, Doray worked directly under Harrison, who worked under Peake. The drug unit was filled with misfits. When Tim came in with some of his properly trained guys, the drug unit was reorganized and Harrison was gone. Since that time the quality of cases have skyrocketed and the number of large busts have grown. Harrison spent way too much time on the users and not on the dealers. Doray's actions were right under Harrison's nose. There is no question about that.
Third, if Harrison is such a great narc, why isn't he working for SLED as a narc or even Richland County as a narc? Seems to me he has been sized up by a Sheriff across the river and religated to being a school resource officer.
Fourth and last, who got moved to investigations and been assigned high profile cases? Which one of them is even on the Major Crimes Task force? Last I saw, those in investigations were having their hands held by other investigators or doing forgery cases. Get real.

[Anonymous]

If Jimmy Metts is elected sheriff the citizens of Lexington county will have to put locks on their wallets!!

Metts will rob them of their money in a heart beat! He has had a 59% budget increase in only 5 years!!! I wish my household budget could increase 59% in 5 years. Then again, it could if I was spending someone else's money and was not responsible.

WE CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER 4 YEARS OF JIMMY METTS!

[Anonymous]

So, Wyatt, what you are really saying is that Jimmy the Crotch assembled a group of "misfits" to form his narcotics unit. Therefore, you are saying that Tim James had to come in and correct his mistakes. If the Crotch Doctor is responsible for such an abysmal crew, then why should we re-elect him?

[Anonymous]

OK Wyatt, here we go:

Your first point was that “cursing and name-calling is the first sign of ignorance and desperation.” No it is not. It is the first sign that a person is really pissed off about something. When the subject is “Pick a Number” Metts, you can bet the farm there is going to be some cursing and name-calling. Get real.

Your second point was that “Doray worked under Harrison who worked under Peake.” Wait a minute, Wyatt, you forgot to mention the rest of the chain of command! There was Peake who worked under some Lieutenant who worked under some Captain who worked under some Major who worked under some Colonel who worked under some Ubergrupenfurher who worked under some Commander who has contact with a secretary who is slipped encrypted notes from “Pick a Number” Mettts himself. In short, Wyatt, if the narcotics unit was anything less than it should have been, then there is a whole line of people who need to answer up for it. Please, do get real.

I just love this part. “When Tim came in with some of his properly trained guys, the drug unit was reorganized and Harrison was gone.” What do you know that the rest of don’t, Wyatt? I thought Metts fired Harrison for having some sort of alleged affair. Coming from you, it sounds like maybe Harrison was “just in the way” of Tim and his All Cayce Employees team. Maybe Harrison is telling the truth and Tim just needed his job for somebody else. Maybe you are real, Wyatt.

Then comes your brilliant observation; “if Harrison is such a great narc why isn’t he working for SLED….” Wyatt, read the damn newspaper. There has been a hiring freeze on at every state agency for about two years. Unlike Tim, Harrison does not pee ginger ale. He got fired by a Sheriff and had to go looking for a job. He had to start all over again and he had to start at the bottom. That takes considerably more fortitude than most people have. Just one of the reasons that Metts had better be scared to death of him in this election. And by the way, he was hired as a deputy and that did require a polygraph. He must have passed it. Maybe he really was just in the way. Maybe you are real, Wyatt.

Your fourth point, if I may summarize, is that everybody who worked with Harrison was a fouled-up misfit. Well, thank goodness Tim showed up with his “properly trained” guys in the nick of time. There was this big problem because the Sheriff and the entire chain of command had just screwed up something awful. There were misfits running wild in every direction. Then, up steps Timmy, with glowing cheeks and a slight Harvard accent, with just the right solution to just the right problem at just the right time. Quite a coincidence, eh Wyatt?

Wyatt, the whole allegation that Harrison had an affair is starting to smell like fresh manure and Tim has flung it all over his boss. It stinks to high heaven and Metts drags it around with him everywhere he goes. Gee, I wonder who all those misfits, and the people who know them, are going to vote for? Could it be they are going to "freshen the air” when they close the curtain of the voting booth? Metts will not carry his own department and is going to get his ass whipped in the primary. Why? Because Tim and his “properly trained” guys wanted the narcotics unit and Harrison was in the way. If it hadn’t been for Tim, Metts would have had it made…..for real.

[Anonymous]

miles...miles....is that you tom mackey? i thought you were taking your idiot butt off this site...and here you are back again....my, my....lets hope that it is you tom...cuz, its scary thinking that there are two idiots out there....timmy brought his "average" ways to a good sheriff's dept..(probably was one of the top two or three in the state once), and made it "average" too...a shame...his highly trained boys from cayce couldn't find a job anywhere else and had to come over cuz charlie mcnair didn't want their "average" ways screwing up his dept. ...so miles or tom whichever you are this time..(still idiot)...go away and let the vote count!

[Anonymous]

Guest, I think you had better read it again. From what you wrote I think we are in agreement.

[Anonymous]

I do not believe that I said anything about Metts, but let me go read again . . . . . . Nope, nothing about Metts. I believe that my point was and is that Tom was right in his evaluation of the situation. I also do not believe that I brought up any affair, of which I have no actual knowledge. I only discussed what I know. You are correct that the chain of command goes all the way to Metts, but I think you missed my point. Supervisors can only effectively command 5-8 people, that is why there are Col. Maj. Capt. Lt. and so forth. Those persons are put in place to effectivly supervise because no one person can be everywhere. Doray was directly under Harrison. Therefore, he is the most responsible for Doray's actions. I Metts responsible also, yes, but if you want to slam Metts for putting Harrison in that position, I believe you defeat your own argument.

[Anonymous]

And I forgot you JRM, your statistics are true, but who holds the purse strings. Not Jimmy, I believe the council does that. And by the way, just how much has the population of Lexington County done in the same length of time? Seems your problem is with the council, not the Sheriff.

Wyatt, I think you missed my point. You want us to believe that an entire chain of command was taken by surprise that Harrison and his unit were not up to “operational tempo.” I don’t believe that and neither does anybody else. Your “point” that Tom was right is simply wrong.

The fact that “no one person can be everywhere” is exactly why they call it a “chain” of command. The whole damn point is to have everybody in the loop. It would be ludicrous to believe that anybody in the chain would only have knowledge of 5-8 other people.

“Doray was directly under Harrison. Therefore he is the most responsible for Doray’s actions.” Whut!?! You seriously expect us to hold Harrison accountable for Doray’s addiction? That is just plain outrageous. Addiction is a well know occupational hazard for officers assigned to narcotics enforcement. Drop by the library sometime, Wyatt. There are articles in the FBI Bulletin, the Chiefs of Police magazine, and even the National Academy Associates magazine, to name a few, which deal with this subject. I believe even National Accreditation standards address this problem.

By the way, it was Tom (the guy you agree with) who pointed out that “Tim brought in his properly trained guys.” My point is that everything was fine with the narcotics unit as far as the chain of command and Jimmy were concerned until Tim showed up with his “properly trained guys.” Metts had every reason to have confidence in an excellent deputy named Harrison. You figure it out.

[Anonymous]

Wyat good point you said about the county council being responsible for the budget. Check back a while and you will find the the council gave Metts control over his budget. The council sets what he gets and with a few exceptions he spends it like he wants.

Little watching by the council on how it is spent. I see on Harrisons web site that he is giving complete control of the budget back to the county so they can monitor it like they should, that is what the council is elected to do.

The way it is now Metts can do what he feels like. I bet if someone looks close they will find hidden spending on things and maybe on some people too.

I cant wait until someone goes through the budget with a fine tooth comb, I bet there are some bombshells in there. <hint, hint>

A 59% increase in the budget in a little over one term is down right criminal. If we have to live with in our means why shouldnt Jimmy Metts. Harrison has even said he will live with the budget he gets and WILL REDUCE IT by 5% the first year he has to prepare it. Now how about that he WILL REDUCE the budget, Metts has only increased it, at an alarming rate.

Harrison is the man I want running the sheriffs department, he cares about the taxpayers!! Metts only wants their wallets!

[Spud]

If Larry Harrison is elected sheriff of Lexington County all private citizens would have to get zipper locks. Larry was busted bumping the uglys with another deputy's wife. This is the reason he is running for sherrif, not because he can do a better job. He's just mad - boo hoo-hoo.
I have to give it to Larry he picks good looking girls to screw. So if he is willing to screw a deputy's wife, wouldn't you think he would screw up other people's lives. No Lexington doesn't need problems, Metts is doing an excellent job. Re-Elect Metts for Sheriff.

I agree. Larry Harrisons blatant adultery is what got him fired and he should not be rewarded with the Sheriff's job. Jimmy is an honest man and a great sheriff and should be reelected.

SPUD if you think jimmy is an honest man, then you must believe I'm the President of the World. tick....tick.....tick....tick. Time is running out for ole jimmy

Truth - Nearly every single member of Harrison's drug unit had to be reassigned because of his "training" on how to make cases. If you really want to see what kind of sheriff he would make, look at the conviction rates on the cases that he and his team made. Evidence was lost and arrest numbers were all that mattered. The convictions that were made were plea negotiations much lower than the original charge because the cases stank!!
As for Sons - as a person she is a very nice lady. As a judge, she stunk up the place. She was reprimanded, but for allowing staff to sign her name to documents, which is illegal. Her rulings were questionable at best and people were treated bad in court. She even checked into suing to get her position back. When that fell through, she decides to run. No experience, no prior desire for political office. It is nothing but revenge. No group asked her to run.

Harrison actually had one of his narcotics detectives on crack and never noticed it until the guy was in a wreck with his snitch. The guy was hustled off to rehab and never returned to the LCSD. So much for Harrisons ability as a narc.


I do not agree with alot of Knotts or Metts stances, but voting for these two would even be worse.

Spud, is that true about the narc?

[Anonymous]

Metts is just an old tired political hack. He's hardly good for a laugh anymore.

[Spud]

i have no idea how many at the lcsd has been removed from thier job for, let's say other reasons. but i do know that a great many and i mean many are back in uniform. why? seems to me if one is hired back, then why shouldn"t the rest?

Becaue they don't know jakie knotts.

[Spud]

Spud, is that true about the narc?

Doray worked for harrison and harrison for peak. doray was on crack and both peak and harrison should have noticed it. nobody knows why harrison missed it and everybody knows why peak missed it.

[Anonymous]

So spud, what you are saying is that because Peake was over Harrison it was still his fault (harrison) that doray wa on crack?? Also what blantant adultery??? It was never proved. Im confused??

Larry was busted bumping the uglys with another deputy's wife.

Assuming this to be true, then why hasn't a certain Captain been fired for having an affair/living with the wife (now divorced) of a recently promoted Deputy. I thought we were accredited and ALL matters are handled equally! I guess Larry didn't contriute enough to any of #1's campaigns!

Who is the "certain captain"?

[quote=MO JOE - JOE JOE]If Larry Harrison is elected sheriff of Lexington County all private citizens would have to get zipper locks. Larry was busted bumping the uglys with another deputy's wife.

Oh my God! I don’t believe it! Did that doofus actually use the phrase “bumping the uglies ?” Can’t you just see Moe Joe, You a Dumb Ass and Guest standing in the school yard, their nasty little hands wrapped around a potted meat and onion sandwich, chewing and snickering about catching Moe Joe’s brother and sister behind the wellhouse bumping the uglies. That phrase was cool for about fifteen minutes in 1973. These days, the only people who use it have mullet haircuts and aren’t getting any. I’ll bet these guys refer to the ninth grade as their “senior year.” But I digress…

Finally, the “big bomb” has been dropped by the Crotch Doctor’s crowd. What a shock. What a surprise. Boy, were we caught looking the other way on this one. What are we gonna do now? Will you get real for a change? Who did NOT know that Jimmy the Crotch was going to bust the crust on this one?

First of all, Harrison claims he took a polygraph and passed it on this issue. Now, according to You a Dumb Ass, the police are taught how to beat this kind of examination. I have just finished talking to about half a dozen cops and you know what? Every one of them missed that class. They didn’t even know it was offered. I think You a Dumb Ass has his head up his ass on this one.

What about Ms. Huggins? Has she taken a polygraph? Has she been asked to take a polygraph? Apparently, Jimmy the Crotch just took her word for it. The Crotch Doctor’s folks seem to want to portray her as some sort of victim. It takes two to tango, or bump the uglies as Moe Joe would say. What about Mr. Huggins? Doesn’t he bear some responsibility if this affair in fact took place? Had he been “on the job” Ms Huggins would not have strayed. No body has demanded that he be punished for his negligence. Has he taken a polygraph? Was this a long term affair that Ms Huggins willingly and knowingly engaged in, or did she just drop her knickers on demand? Which one was it? Which ever it supposedly was, she would have known full well what she was doing. She is a full grown adult and it is simply wrong for the only person to suffer for this event, if it even happened, to be Harrison.

There is a simple way to settle this. Have Harrison and Jimmy the Crotch both take polygraph exams pertaining to marital fidelity. Let’s see who passes and who fails. For that matter, let’s just line up all the deputies and test them all. If Jimmy the Crotch is gonna fire one man for this kind of thing, then he ought to fire everybody who is suspected of the same behavior.

By the way, there was mention made of Shirley Sons being reprimanded by the Supreme Court. It seems to me that I remember our Solicitor getting a pretty good going over by that crowd. I guess this means that the Crotch Doctor’s boys do not approve of the job he is doing either. Personally, I think he is the best prosecutor this circuit has ever had…..and all we share are initials.

I think Harrison is going to be the best Sheriff Lexington County has ever had. It is a shame it took an injustice to turn him into a candidate. However, the Lord moves in mysterious ways his wonders to perform. Don’t take my word for it; ask around the Sheriff’s office. The smart money is on Harrison to carry the Department.

You had better come up with something better than “bumping the uglies” if you plan to avoid a real embarrassing election night. Seriously, how many people do you think really give a crap about this anyway? It’s not like he was fixing traffic tickets.

June 8th approaches with wings………………….

Although belaboring the obvious, Harrison sued officials of LCSD, not vice versa. Additionally Harrison DROPPED the suit against these same officials. How come??

[Anonymous]

I don't think it would be a good thing to be suing them, winning, thus taking money from them, and asking them for their votes. tick tick tick tick

[Spud]

So spud, what you are saying is that because Peake was over Harrison it was still his fault (harrison) that doray wa on crack?? Also what blantant adultery??? It was never proved. Im confused??

No, neither are culpable. However, one would think that two narcotics "experts" would recognize a crack user when they say him on a regular basis. I guess all those trees got in the way of their seeing the forest. As for your second opinion, it was never proved that OJ killed his wife either.

[Anonymous]

Spud, I won't even pretend to claim to know why Harrison dropped the suit. However, I will venture a guess. It was probably costing him a fortune in legal fees and would have dragged on forever. The county has plenty of time, plenty of lawyers and plenty of money. Having taken on the government myself, I can tell you that it requires a lot of resources. It is enough to discourage anyone.

As for the Doray thing; surely more than just two people on Gibson Road interacted with that guy. Trying to paint Harrison as being reponsible for Dorays problem is really a reach. I really think it is a dumb accusation that most people are not going to understand or buy into.

I am pro Harrison and I am going to vote for him. I admire his conviction that he can do a better job and he is willing to step up to the plate and put his ideas before the voters. I like a man who will take on the system. The best leaders we have in this country are just that sort of person.

By the way, I was at a meeting of my Bible study group and I did an informal survey. I'm not a political scientist, so I really don't know what to make of the results, but maybe it will mean something to you. More of the men could name the Sheriff of Richland County that could name the Sheriff of Lexington County. Of those that could name Metts as Sheriff of Lexington County, only about half knew that he was up for re-election. No one knew that Metts' opponent, Harrison, was a former deputy. I may be wrong, but I think hanging his hat on a lot of inside accusations is not going to be of much value to Metts on June 8th.
