FL Sheriff Who Vowed To Deputize Gun Owners Over BLM Protesters Is Arrested On Felony Charges

[tenderfoot]

Clay County Sheriff Darryl Daniels made national headlines earlier this year when he threatened to make “special deputies of every lawful gun owner in this county” in order to “handle” Black Lives Matter protesters who showed up in his community. On Thursday, Daniels was charged with three felony counts – two for allegedly lying to law enforcement and one for alleged tampering with evidence.

Allegations are that Daniels abused his authority by ordering a deputy to arrest his onetime mistress on ginned up stalking charges. Cierra Smith, a former corrections officer, and Daniels had been in a long term adulterous relationship since 2012–when she was the sheriff’s subordinate employee. In 2019, Daniels’s wife learned about the indiscretions and allegedly threatened to kill Smith.

7. Why in that video isn't he wearing a real uniform?

That's weird, looks like a suit with a sheriff psych pinned on and a cowboy hat.

Not that that's as bad as arresting your ex on trumped up charges.
