Do you have a running list of all the Caroline deputies who have been arrested either before, during or after their time on the job?

When this event took place I was a Corporal at the Marine Barracks Washington D.C.. I was also present during the trial as I was a Chaser/Bailiff from their unit as required. I am not defending what these Marines did. I also would not classify it as a hate crime. You had a group of young men on a Saturday night. One pulls out a (stolen) CS Grenade and shows his friends. Someone gets the stupid idea to use it. During my time of escorting the men I heard the story many times. All stated that they did not know it was a gay establishment. I believe this. I think it was wrong to have done it anywhere it might have caused injury to someone.
Out of the five, four where given bad conduct discharges. Only one stood up and said he was wrong in what he had done and that felt regret for putting someone in danger and embarrassing the Marine Corps. This individual was demoted to E-1/Private but allowed to stay in the Marine Corps. Point of fact he did not throw the grenade nor steal it.
Also I want to clarify that the time of confinement was time served while awaiting trial. No time was given to follow the court proceedings.
These young men did a stupid thing and they paid for it severely. I hope today that the four who were discharged have matured and are serving society in a beneficial way. If Deputy Sherif Nutter is serving his community and has done so in a commendable way, I fail to see why this is a matter. Has he done anything during his time at the Sherif’s office that should be questioned?

And Mike, you can choose not to believe this information or not, but it’s the truth.

Just because some Yankee gets a single name wrong and doesn’t know the difference between a police department and a sheriff’s office doesn’t it make untrue.

Oh, and I’m just waiting for the lawsuit Mike. I’ll be sure to file discovery motions for every one of Nutter’s military and sheriff’s office personnel documents.”

Ok, so now its a yankee that supposedly has no idea what the difference between a sheriffs office and a police department is? I thought it was a Washington based newspaper that posted the initial information? There are sheriffs offices and police departments in all states on the east coast, I cant speak for the west coast but I am sure it is very similar. For someone to not know the difference is beyond me.

Also, for the record, Lippa is very picky about who represents him as a deputy sheriff for Caroline County so if Nutter had a criminal background, he would have been fired, not promoted. Lippa’s ethics standards are way too high and his arrogance would not allow him to retain such a person as it leads back to him, the Sheriff in the end regardless of what administration hired him.

“Mike – DCJS & background investigations don’t weed out everyone with a past… This story wasn’t hugely publicized, but it’s a good lesson:

I am aware that they do not weed out everything. Thats what the background check thru the agency is for and they do in fact miss certain things in a persons background.

IMHO, I would think that someone who is opening themselves up to a potential lawsuit regarding the character and reputation of “ANY” Law enforcement officer would want to have their facts straight prior to opening their mouths or in this case, posting it to a blog. It could be true but im not going to validate any of it.

Oh, and I’m just waiting for the lawsuit Mike. I’ll be sure to file discovery motions for every one of Nutter’s military and sheriff’s office personnel documents.
