Brunswick County Sheriff Suspended
The petition seeks Hewett’s suspension on the grounds of willful or habitual neglect or refusal to perform duties of his office, willful misconduct or maladministration in office, extortion, intoxication or upon conviction of being intoxicated, Gore said.
Among the allegations in the petition is that Hewett has been intoxicated at crime scenes; intimidated his employees; required employees to perform campaign duties, such as painting campaign signs, while working on county time and while off duty; and ordered employees to work at his residence.
Recordings and photos from more than 20 former or current sheriff’s office employees support the affidavits in the petition.
Now there’s a sheriff to be proud of. This guy sounds like a regular Vic Mackey.
