DEPUTIES ACTIONS SCAR POLICE FORCE
Repugnant, repulsive and revolting are just a few choice words that
describe the actions of three former Jones County sheriff's deputies
accused of misdeeds while they were members of a task force
established to ferret out illegal drug activity.
And those are gentler adjectives. What was once known as the
Southeast Mississippi Drug Task Force can now go down as a public
farce, all thanks to the actions of Roger Williams, 44; Chris Smith,
34; and Randall Parker, 32. On Tuesday, the three former deputies
waived their right to a grand jury investigation and agreed to plead
guilty to charges ranging from planting evidence to assaulting
defendants and embezzlement.
Tuesday, they made their pleas and were released on signature bonds.
