A higher standard is what is required and this man meets that, heartbreaking.
Respect
@@jahnl4906 You have no deep understanding about what life is about, or what prayer is.
@@jahnl4906 I didn't enlighten you, I contradicted you. Can you handle enlightenment? A hard-core meth-head lives to get high and steal until death. Arresting her arrests that downward spiral. What you published seems to make her ability to continue as a meth-head drug dealer as her decision and her right, why you say she should disown him. As far as praying for someone you obviously admire, Jesus of Nazareth said you should pray for your enemies. He said it's futile to pray for yourself because God would have it to you already if He thought you needed it. Publishing for free with font online might seem fleeting, as it surely is for you, but sooner or later your words will catch up to you, and it won't be online. Please be aware as you stare.
@@johnwattdotca What is life all about, please tell us. It's not that deep ,you see it every day on the world news. I'm pretty sure I know what prayer is all about.
@@jackhammer7824 The original comment I replied to is now deleted. There's too much of that. I could go on about what life is all about, but I'll agree with you right away that life isn't that deep because it's getting cheap, and yes, it's world news that makes it look that way. As for prayer, I always have to comment when I see self-righteous people using it and talking about it in self-serving ways. Jesus of Nazareth said to pray for your enemies. He said if you pray for yourself it's futile, because if God wanted you to have something He would have given it to you already. I don't see God in this sense as being a supernatural deity looking at you as an individual, but being the environment, the life around you, what you are born into, as being what you need. The things of mankind? You live your life you take your chances.
This is a man who takes the oath of his job seriously? No cover up or preferential treatment! Great father and law enforcer.
Yeah I hope the community comes together to help law enforcement but to make sure everyone is apprehended alive and is healed of their addiction.
@@DRNT940 Healing of addiction has nothing to do with incarceration. Getting clean is all that happens, unless you've got a supplier in jail.
Great father ? Don't you mean navie and
Probably part of her problem.
@@jackhammer7824 I wasn't under the impression you assumed. I meant that after they got out of jail the community would work together to help them get treatment.
“Great father”? His daughter is a meth dealer.....🤦♂️
This is a man of law. I respect him and my heart goes out to him.
He sounds like a real buzz killer
like father like daughter. they are both drug dealers. don't be fooled by the "arrest"
@@booooo-urns troll. His kid is selling a drug that kills ppl
would never arrest my daughter for drugs... what weird times we live in.
@@richhandler2621 you’d be the problem then if you ignored your kid selling drugs
I want to see his daughters' arrest now. This is honestly the kind of arrest and backstory you WANT the world to see. All cops world wide need to be like this man.
Shut up
They should all be failed parents? Ok...
@@Bretware904 I don’t see how this is a failed parent they are litteary doing their job and it’s a big deal if it’s with drugs I would do the exact same for my children. They are even going to rehab if you didn’t read this.
YEAH
He's a good cop and a damned good father. Hope she turns her life around.
😂
@@bobmanbob341 doesn’t mean he’s a bad father she’s a grown woman she can make her own choices
He did the right thing
@@bobmanbob341 No, you made an inference that he could possibly be a bad father based on the story and then you made a comment implying he was. Plausible deniability is a cowards tool Mr.Bob, but applying it in such a crude manner is undoubtedly a hallmark of ignorance.
@@patricksmith6776
Very well said! 👏👏👏
The integrity of this man is outstanding. More of his type needed across the board.
@Vlamidir pudin Sorry, your opinion is outnumbered. Does that tell you anything?
@@lindaoneil5085 Tells me that people will believe anything. The war on drugs is a waste of taxpayer money and only succeeds in increasing profits for the cartels. 500 Floridians died from meth last year, while in the same state 10s of thousands died from sugar, 10s of thousands more died from tobacco thousands of those never smoked second hand deaths. Thousands more died from alcohol. 28 million children in the United States live with an active alcoholic. This cop is either a fool a pawn or a criminal and does no good for society fighting drugs.
@@lindaoneil5085 that shouldn’t matter don’t be a sherp
@@prodogtwodogman3857 This cop has integrity, which is what the story is about. Considering he had to arrest his own daughter, as much as he hated to do it, but he was determined to uphold the law. He could have let his daughter off the hook, but he didn't.
As far as all those other people who died from various causes, they made bad lifestyle choices that ultimately cost them their lives. So they have nobody to blame but themselves.
@@lindaoneil5085 I would argue that the state supports and makes money from the legal drugs which are far more destructive than the illegal ones and this man takes his orders from this state. He is nothing more than a pawn a fool or both. Anyone with common sense realizes the war on drugs is at best a losing battle and at worse an aid to the cartels pockets. Anyone doing any type of drug interdiction in the world I have no respect for.
Poor guy. That was a tough call. I admire his professionalism despite the personal hurt. I feel bad for her children. They'll feel the impact more than her father.
come on! he knew what she was doing, it is a small town,
It's not a tough call. It's the only call
@@MrMorristhecatp 💯
@@MrMorristhecatp what's your point??
@@beaugoss4833 my point? read between the lines.
I applaud that Sheriff for having the guts to arrest his own daughter. Right is right and wrong is wrong. He showed tremendous courage and honor.
She however, didn't think about the consequences of her actions, her children nor her father (considering his position) and how it would look in the community for a lawman's kid to traffic drugs. Selfish and inconsiderate!!
Sir, as bad as it hurt to arrest your Daughter, you saved her life from that Meth Demon.
Kudos!! 👏👏👏
👍
She will not get treatment in prison. Plus, will have easy access to meth. So, do the math.
I don't think he saved her life she most likely owes someone for that and that might get her hurt hopefully that's not the case but most of the time it is
Yeah because going to jail you respawn.
@@michaelperkins4924 exactly...she hit that pipe as soon as she got home...no rest for the wicked
Wow. How heartbreaking. Good for him-nice to see someone with integrity.
Integrity-moral uprightness doesn't mean intelligent or humanity is present. That tough love crap is only
A reason to continue in self medicating
For a lot of addicts.
ya. kinda sad. There are a lot of news of policers have the same problems their child is hook on drug. It is just devastating.
so it is ok to enable?

Yh it very heartbreaking but he keeps to his promise for being a sheriff
as heartbreaking as this is, we need more officers like him.
There are. Florida sheriff are pretty good. ESP Grady.
He didn't have a choice but ok believe what you want
@@sabre-ub3op not everyone is corrupted, but ok believe what you want.
We need parents like him
@@slackjaw2643 I was just thinking of him. I wonder if he'd have done the same? I sure like to think so.
All My Respect to You Sir !!!
He is not Only saving his daughter, as well as his grandchildren , and the community. 💙🤍♥️🌟
Only his daughter can save his daughter.
Kudos to him for arresting his daughter just like he would arrest anyone else doing this. So many would sweep it under the rug.
This will be the last you ever hear of it and she'll get out of it he'll make sure that. I can promise you she won't do 20 years in prison like anybody else would do for trafficking meth.
@@badmonkey2222 I don't think so. I think you're going on stock stereotypes, and not guaging the sheriff's personality in this story.
@@77thTrombone I have, he's a far right radical and sheriff of a small town in that shithole they call Florida.The story will fade from the front pages of most news sources then they will go to work making sure she's taken care of.
👍👍👍
@@badmonkey2222 👍👍👍
Wow! His own daughter is a dealer and operates a trap house from home. That’s the saddest thing ever. Even worse, she has good paying government job with benefits & her dad would’ve helped her if she needed money. She can’t justify dealing drugs.
Yeah he must be soooo disappointed and ashamed.
She has no excuse! The family, connections and with even half sense she could be good in life.
Plot twist they worked on it together and she got it from the evidence room ...stuff got too hot he turned her in ....
@@Fromdahoodtothewoods stop spreading that trash.
Hope he really does help those that need it and not just arrest them. He had not seen his own daughter for so long, he did not recognize the address, the house, not even his daughter. Abuse takes all forms. She must have really needed his love and felt abandoned by him as a child. He was trying to keep the world safe and give her a charmed life. Age old story. Glad he is spending his time and emotion on her now. Money will not keep you warm inside, time will march on.
He is actually a awesome father.
and grandfather. He also did ti for them. Take care.
An example of tough love for sure.
@@dianebannister4591 he honestly had zero choice and that is her fault not his.
@@RockyTuxedoFBI He did his job. As a father he probably gets a fail.
@@jlorde8838 It's HIS fault for enforcing tyrannical drug law
I'm sure that felt like the ultimate betrayal for him. Bless him. What a good man. Hopefully his daughter will get the help she needs.
Hello how are you doing?
good integrity, but for obvious reasons, he should immediately turn over that case to other officer or Department.
I agree, just from an optics standpoint that would be the appropriate thing to do.
He's done it already considering he talks to her everyday.
I'd assume that Florida State Police would take over the investigation. That's typical for cases like this. Sadly, I am sure he educated his daughter on the dangers of meth, but a parent can only do so much .
Trafficking sounds like it might be going to the Feds
Agree, conflict of interest.
This had to be the most difficult arrest he's ever had to make. His own daughter. But as difficult as it was, he still had a job to do. I hope his daughter gets help.
She’s trafficking it. She probably doesn’t do it. She’s just making money.
I believe Sherriff Bob Fletcher in St. Paul, MN had a similar experience. My heart breaks for both of them, but they both did what was needed to be done.
I agree. Extremely difficult, but necessary.
She might not be a user since she was able to go unnoticed for so long. She was probably just trafficking so jail might be the best corrective measure.
Prison is not the answer. Too many drug offenders in there. Rehab is the answer, and that would be a lot better if she is court ordered. Focus on addiction and mental health, not rehabilitation. I know a sheriff who lost his daughter to drugs, and he changed his mind from locking them up to getting them help.
I applaud him. He arrested his own kid. His daughter, growing up with a father in law enforcement, especially knows the ramifications of breaking the law. I don’t believe in jail doesn’t work. I went to prison for 3 years for drug possession(s), and it sobered me up real quick! 2 weeks before I went to sentencing, I got clean. Stayed that way too. My whole story is featured on my own channel. If an addict isn’t ready to quit, court ordered rehabs won’t do a bit of good. Only when an addict fully sees their freedom is gone, when they use, do they realize this crap ain’t worth it no more!
How could he not know his daughter was an addict when he deals with addicts constantly. Only fools will believe him
Congratulations! Recovery does work! I'll be checking out your channel 👍🏼
I wish the ppl I encounter feel that way years years and years the saga continues
he probably saved her life
I am lost, please help me.. of all the charges brought against her, how come she is free? How come she did not go to prison . Don't understand the law system..
Wow that's gotta be the hardest thing to take hearing that "Your daughter" has been the one supplying the drugs and it just breaks my heart to see the Sheriff being put in that situation!
I'm proud of this man and pray his daughter finds her way out of this.
Drug bealers should get the death penalty.
@@yankee2666 why the death penalty they need help rehabilitation not death
@@Shizunaisbestgirl drug dealers ruin lives on purpose.
Dont you know that they even lace their drugs so people die?
Have you not lost somebody you known due to laced drugs?
@@youtubestudiosucks978 no I haven't luckily
@@Shizunaisbestgirl Correct
Wow, he's one in a trillion! Not using his influence, and treating his daughter like everyone else! Hats off to you sir!
I wonder if he had the same energy towards rehabilitation before this event
💯
I'm SO glad I'm not your kid. BOOTLICKING creep
Absolutely! Living up to his oath, maintaining truth and integrity. Gotta do the right thing.
He’s a sorry mf
Much respect Sherrif. I hope things work out for your daughter in a constructive way. God bless
Respect to this man. That is serious dedication to a good cause. He probably saved his daughters life by arresting her.
We need more men like this in the world to protect the innocent ones. This man does the job he's supposed to do for the people
Regardless of how he feels or what he thinks, yes.
Just because it's your job doesn't guarantee your personal life is not going
To be filled with surprises and challenges. Obviously if he had no clue about his own daughters lifestyle and
True realities, he's out of touch. Sensitivity
Issues I'm afraid not addressed.
We need no one fighting a losing war on a drug that killed 15,000 people last year. Sugar killed millions, tobacco half a million alcohol 70,000. 28 million children in this country live with an alcoholic. Fighting drugs only succeeds in increasing profits for cartels.
@@jackhammer7824 wow heavy assessment with zero facts on their personal relationship. You are a cop hater, it's obvious.
You need to watch Sheriff Grady Judd of Polk County Florida. He doesn't play and holds his department accountable.
As a parent he’s actually helping his daughter. Tough decision but you have to lead by example.
no he isnt, she probably has a felony now instead of talking to her. he just set up a drug buy
@@solutionxero probably lol? She definitely getting felony charges & ain’t no other person earned that punishment besides her. She’s a loser, you’re sounding like one too.
@@solutionxero please dont have any kids
@@solutionxero No, he's helping her. It's "tough love" and he's probably been dealing with her poor choices for quite some time now. He also has to consider protecting HER children now instead of her if she's a lost cause. Choices and actions have consequences, even for the children of law enforcement. I'd say he's been pretty fair overall. I hope she gets the help she needs getting off drugs. Addiction is no joke. I get that drugs are fun and all while you are still able to control them but once they start controlling you, it's very hard to pull yourself away from that without a lot of help. She has a chance at that now.
@@solutionxero If she has no previous record, she can apply for diversion, or plead the charge down. He knows exactly what he’s doing, and yes, he IS helping her.
He has to have had his heart in his throat, with his daughter being the one he was looking for. Real heart breaker, and so good to know that people still do the right thing!
Or he is a horrible parent.
@@mattk8810 yeah okay, keep saying that
@@mattk8810 He's not a horrible parent for not shielding her from her poor life choices. He probably gave her the tools one needs in life to survive but she chose to either not use them or misuse them, hoping Daddy would pull her fat from the fire. Parents aren't here to be their child's friend. They're here to parent their children and sometimes when parenting one's child (even if they're adult children, you still are their parent), you have to let them swing for their own poor choices. Parenting is praise but it's also discipline. I'm glad this man chose to arrest his daughter so she could face her consequences. He probably protected his grandchildren with that.
This reminded me of my own late mother and father, to me this shows more love than letting her off. "I love you but I don’t love what you did…" says it all.
I CAN'T BELIEVE HE ACTUALLY ARRESTED HIS DAUGHTER NOW HE'S A GREAT COP NOBODY GETS A PASS FROM HIM NOT EVEN HIS DAUGHTER
We need a president like that matter fact this guy should run for president I’d vote for him in a heartbeat
Not all cops are bad
@@jeremiahjenkins4098 yea I know my brother
Back in my natal Honduras, where I come from, my LTC, kept his youngest son in a room that he was the only one with the key to it. He received his food through a little window with a wrought iron grid. He sneaked at night to attend a party and he was fourteen years old.
@@yusefalmutawakil3325 Why would you vote for him? What would be the biggest change he would bring to your country?
This father loves his daughter and saves her by giving her another chance to live a better life.
Love makes anything possible.
He has done his grandchildren a great service, possibly saving their lives from this addiction. Throw the book at her. She knows what she is doing and didn't care as she betrayed the trust of all those that trusted her.
I completely agree
Guess what that’s not gonna happen
Beautifully said!
@little pookie, she is a human being, who is fallible, just like the rest of us. She messed up, and now she has to endure the negative consequences of her illegal acts, and hopefully while she’s serving her sentence for the crimes she committed, she will hear the gospel of Christ and understand there is a God who forgives us imperfect, fallible humans. His name is YHVH, and He made Himself manifest to the world when He became incarnate in the Lord Jesus Christ, the visible image of the invisible God, Colossians 1:15. I pray for the Holy Spirit to have mercy upon her, and convict her of her sins, so that she repents and turns to Christ and receives Him as her Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ is the only one who can transform the ungodly into the godly, because only God can give us a new heart and a renewed mind, that transforms us from within. When we are regenerated through faith in Christ, God puts new desires in our heart, and He takes away our desires for sinful things. A regenerated Christian will bear fruits of the work of God’s Holy Spirit in transforming them day by day to be more like Christ, and to have the same mercy and kindness towards our fellow man as our Lord Jesus Christ has towards us. I pray for God’s mercy upon others, because I know how much I need His mercy as well. It’s the knowledge of how far I fall short of God’s sinless perfection that caused me to realize how much I needed Jesus Christ as my Savior, for Him to take the wr@th for my sins, and by faith He clothes me in His righteousness, the righteousness of God that does not come by keeping the Law, but only by faith in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross, and His resurrection the 3rd day. Jesus Christ paid it all, He paid for our pardon from sin with His precious bIood, the bIood of God, on the cross. Our Heavenly Father YHVH has given us only one way to be reconciled to Him, and that’s through His visible image, His Son, Jesus Christ, and believing on the shed bIood of Christ as the full atonement for our sins, receiving God’s mercy, forgiveness, and indwelling Holy Spirit, by faith. If we want God to have mercy upon us for all the wrongs we have done in life, then we should desire Him to have that same mercy and grace He’s shown us upon other sinners who are still lost. Salvation is a gift from YHVH, and it can’t be earned by any works, because our flesh is fallen, which means all our works of the flesh are fallen too. Imperfect humans can’t be justified by the Law, because God demands sinless perfection in keeping the Law, and fallen beings can’t do any works to earn salvation, because the work of redemption was finished on the cross. If we believe on Jesus Christ as our Savior, then we also believe that our sins were judged on the cross of Christ, and Christ’s resurrection the 3rd day showed the Father has accepted the sinless bIood of Christ as the atonement for the sins of all who believe on Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and we have been reconciled back to our Heavenly Father from the moment we believe on Christ as our Savior. We should desire the same mercy for all.
Forgiveness is not an orphan. Using your words in order---- "repent, regenerate, renewed, reconciled, redemptive work, resurrection", I add "RECOVER... ". She must REPENT and ask for Forgiveness. Father shows mercy to HIS children...
BRAVO to this Shereiff. He absolutely did the right thing. More parents should follow his example. God BLESS this man!
That is the true meaning of tough love.
My heart goes out to you !
I'm shocked actually. Many parents, mostly mothers, tend to shelter, enable and cater to their children. Even if they do something outrageous. This might actually help save her life instead of doing what feels good to you emotionally. Good job pop.
Ok woman hater .
Addiction is a disease like cancer, arthritis or any other chronic long-term disease. Have to always be dealing with it....or it deals with you. My Sympathies. Be brave.
Sexist much? Maybe if you MALES( note: I didn't say men) would step up and take care of the brats you make and or keep it in your pants,we wouldn't have to deal with this!!!
My mother never sheltered, enabled, nor coddled me even as a small child. She just wasn't that kind of person. She would however never turn me or any of my siblings in, This is entirely due to her first hand experience with police and their capacity to manipulate situations, manufacture charges, and basically act with impunity and without accountability, not because she's an evil person of even anti-police. When a small town sheriff and 4 deputies kick down your front door at 4am with a warrant for my mother over, and I swear on my very soul I am not lying here, unreturned library books, because my mother didn't want to testify in a domestic violence case between my neighbors it has a lasting impression on those being victimized and even her kids watching it happen.
More mothers raise their kids, so there's that.
RESPECT for this MAN
Hopefully she gets clean and learns from this moment. It’s heartbreaking but he had to do the right thing. And for her, this might save her life. Hopefully, when she’s clean and gets better, she can realize how hard this was on him and that he had no choice.
But she has to pay 😮
It’s frustrating & heartbreaking that some people are judging this man as a parent based on his daughter’s decision. Good parents have kids that struggle with addiction too.
Some people never realize that folks are responsible for their own actions. I fussed at someone who was still blaming the parents of two GROWN men involved in a shooting. I said, " how old do people have to be before you hold them accountable for their own actions" of course he failed to respond back.
Amen...Amen
His a horrible parent, he cares more about his pride than his daughter.
@@spe3173 , on the contrary, he's a great parent. And I'm guessing she knew what would happen if he found her trafficking drugs. Meth destroys the body (and the brain). I have no sympathy for someone dealing this drug. Sounds like you're a drug dealer (or someone who needs a drug dealer).
@@richardjones4662 Nah, not a drug dealer. Just a good father, who would die before ever putting my daughter in harm's way, no matter what she did.
Feeling kind of sorry for the man. In some rare cases upbringing it doesn't affect outcome.
It’s not that rare.
In some rare cases...
It's not so rare. Oh noooo.
@@janinecarson8380 Agreed.
@Bill Bobson What? She was the environment of a parent that fought his entire career against drugs. Her whole life was the daughter of a sherif. Your argument is invalid.
He did the right thing! He may have saved her life...
And other's
yeah, because everyone who go to jail gets clean and sober
@@Thvndar that's not what they said. You're putting words in their mouth
He saved more lives than just his daughters.
That is a good man, regardless of judging of him of her decisions. He is in the right and he shouldn’t apologize for anything!
At least he's honest
Dad out here breaking cycles✌
I can't imagine the disappointment and heart break he must feel. My pop was a detective/ DEA for the majority of his life and I can only imagine how he'd feel if he had to arrest me. Thankfully I got sober. I feel awful for her kids.
This man is a man of integrity that he sworn. He just set a standard to the other sheriff to follow. Hats off to this officer.
Anybody that has ever lived in a small town knows that this would normally would have been swept under the rug. Props to the sheriff for changing that outcome
My father is a retired state trooper.. he would have arrested me if I was dealing drugs, and I would have deserved it!!! Fair is fair
My father was military, not police like yours, and he always made it very clear that if he ever caught me with drugs, he would turn me in, and I was on my own. He would have too. He had zero tolerance. I was allowed to make plenty of other stupid decisions to learn my own lessons, but he had no tolerance for drugs.
This could not have been an easy thing to go through. Much respect for him. He did the right thing. Hope his daughter gets the help she needs.
There are no easy answers or shortcuts for America's drug problems. It's not just a legal issue but a medical one as well. Hope things imorove for this family.
Oh she will, this story will fade away and he'll make sure that she gets in a rehab or something and we'll go to prison for twenty years like anybody else would for the same crime guarantee you she gets out of it.
Amen!
If she was trafficking she may not have been using... a lot of traffickers sell and don't use (which makes it worse). Those traffickers exploit people with addictions for their own financial gain..
He did stop his own crime that was unwillingly committed.
This is the definition of” I don’t care how great of a dad you are I’m going to make my own Choices and I don’t care if they’re bad ones”
So yeah and that’s is completely disgusting and disgraceful,
My heart breaks for him. That had to be difficult
As a parent you do the best you can. Nobody wants that for their child
Respect for this Man " He didn't let
the fact that the person trafficking
drugs was his Daughter stop him
from doing his Job
Nothing but respect
he knew what she was doing.
Yes, but it's also Florida, land of extremely low expectations. You can't have some of the worst educational scores in the country and a high crime rate without expecting that law enforcement, and the children of law enforcement, will play at being Florida Man, also.
At least he's not a hypocrite.
He's one in a million.
He's a good man of good character, that's almost a unicorn these days
My community 🙏🏾 can take alot of notes from this guy
A CRIMINAL IS A CRIMINAL........
This is how he shows his love to his daughter by showing her some tough love but at the same time it's just heartbreaking.
I'm happy he's not one of those dirty cops who defended their children.

Great integrity. A criminal is still a criminal no matter how closely related. It’s amazing how many hypocrites you see in news stories rationalizing or denying their relative’s crimes.
To be fair… Someone addicted to drugs is not a criminal imo
@@fern7306 Trafficking drugs (so that others may become/stay addicted) is indeed a crime. Hence the ARREST ! Hopefully an addict will clean your house out to fuel their habit. Then we’ll see how bleeding heart you are.
@@ellobo1326 instead of hoping that someone gets robbed by an addict to "fuel their habit" in order for that person to become bitter after getting robbed , how about hoping that more money is spent on things like mental health and rehab so that addicts can get the help they need and not rob anyone and to decrease the number of people who do drugs to deal with their issues to begin with and then become addicted ? smdh

Now shame on you for being ignorant.
Really shows what a great leader looks like!! Our resident can learn allot from this man
What a great officer and human being, he put his duty and respect of the law above everything. We are so tired of hearing all the negative reports of Police, Sherriff and Highway Patrol officers that abuse their power that this man needs to be recognized for his integrity.
I admire him for his dedication and earnestness in his job. He stood up even when it hurt and that is honorable. ❤️ this story.
Absolutely correct!
How sad is this for this father?
May everyone be delivered from the scourge of meth addiction.
He’s a sorry mf take his daughter to jail
Amen!! In the NAME above all names.
This sheriff and father did 100% the right thing. I applaud him.
Hello dear how are you doing?
Mad respect to him for doing the right thing; a man of the highest integrity. I hope she gets the help she needs to kick this habit!
I have the utmost respect for this man. This was by far hardest thing he had to do, but he live by the oath. The Bible says we all must be held accountable. He taught her right from wrong and now she has to face the consequences.
He may have *tried* but evidently, she ignored what he tried to teach her.
He’s handling the shame of his daughters actions really well. He is so honorable !!
I'm very sorry that you have to go through that and good for you to do the right thing.
This is a man of strong, solid, and principled character. I applaud him. I hate that it impacts everyone in his family.
Keep on keeping it real.
My prayers are with you and your family!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Just one word respect we need more public officials like you
And parents stop enabling these monsters
Yes we do!!!!!
I cant imagine how heart breaking this would be. I admire his strength for doing the right thing no matter who it is. It had to be the hardest thing ever.
Great man and an even greater father he saved her life we need more men like him in office
I recently discovered that my nephew was raided FIVE TIMES in upstate N.Y. for felony distribution of narcotics, and each time, my sister posted bail, and he went RIGHT BACK to dealing, (right under the county's nose). My only guess is that he's selling drugs to county law enforcement, and to county employees, judges, etc. Right now he's out on $50,000 cash bail, and I am absolutely 100% certain that he is still dealing. His trial is coming up in a month, and I plan to be sitting in the front row in the courtroom. When I told my sister that I had reported everything that I discovered to the DEA, she threatened me. She is divorced, her ex is a druggie, our parents are dec'd., I am the eldest of three siblings, now head of the family.
Good luck to you
You did the right thing... praying for you.👏👏👏🙂🙏🏾
Be careful, money and drugs makes people cold. I wouldn't be so honest with her. You sound like a good ethical person but your relatives are not and there appears to be corruption in your town, unfortunately as in a lot of places. If you are going to monitor and report them, do it behind the scenes. And I say this as a therapist that works with addicts, as well as personally once having neighbors that were terrorizing the neighborhood and breaking many laws, and when people reported them they received retaliation. I had a legal benefit through work and hired a lawyer to communicate with thier landlord so we could stay anonymous but he didn't care and nothing came of it. Natural consequences eventually led to things calming down. Good luck and I am sorry for your situation. I hope you have good objective support away from the situation.
Be careful with your life. You don't know who he's connected to in that case and these things can get ugly.
Telling your sister what you plan to do won't solve anything. It will only cause more problems for you. Just do what you need to do behind the scene.
If it means arresting your own family members to stop the corruption, trade & voilence... then it has to be done. Integrity & honesty goes a long way.
I know that hurt him but I am so proud of him I pray she get some help
she's 38 and looks like she's 55 ...she appears to be a user too.
We need real parents like this Sheriff! Kudos to him. She felt she had a cover. No way Christine!
So much respect for the sheriff. Doing the right thing even though it’s his daughter. This way she will actually get help, good man he is.
Heartbreaking 💔. I hope his daughter gets help finds a way out of that lifestyle. Was a heavy oxy and heroin user before the fentanyl came in bad. Have 7 yrs in about 2 weeks… got to take it a day at a time…
Good for him, sadly. As a Floridian and parent I get it. I remember when my son went into politics I hugged him, so proud. But said "The first time I hear you lying to the people I'll be the first to call you out". His response "I know". 11 years later all is well ❤
I can't imagine finding out your daughter hates her own children so much that she is willing to involve them in drug trafficking. I hope they are taken away from her. No sympathy for the witch. My condolences to the sheriff. He did the right thing, and possibly will be able to save his grandchildren. Praying it is not too late for them.
"Hates"? You're giving her too much credit. You have to care before you can hate
You don't think money is a motivating factor in drug dealing. Not feeling sorry but I still can't say that every drug dealer is the worst criminal?
That's extremely of self-righteous
@@FordRangerClassics I'm Heinsenberg ya got me!lol
@@zachthamm9595 that was for the original person lol
Ain't got nothin' but MAD RESPECT for that man. A REAL man with standards who honors his oath.. 👍
Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is what ACCOUNTABILITY look like!!!!
TAKE NOTES! ✍🏽
I'm GLAD he held his daughter accountable for her actions! There NEEDS to be SOOOO MANY MORE parents LIKE HIM!!! 🙌🏽🤜🏽🤛🏽👌🏽👏🏽
NO ONE SHOULD BE ABOVE THE LAW!!!
NOT A COP, NOT A SHERIFF, NOT A KID, NOT EVEN AN OFFICER'S KID(S)!!!!
HOLD YOUR KIDS ACCOUNTABLE!!!
POINT 👏🏽, BLANK 👏🏽, PERIOD 👏🏽!!!
Just because you use all caps to make your point does not mean anyone cares or thinks your veiw is valid...
Respect. This is the meaning of law enforcement - following the law no matter who is involved. The rest of the country, especially Congress, should take a lesson from this Sheriff.
Must be so painful for him. He seems to genuinely care about society and fully understands that you can't solve this problem with arrests
?? Then why did he arrest his own daughter and continues to throw people in jail for drug problems.
@@spe3173 It's his job to enforce the law. Unfortunately in small towns like his there are no drug courts or diversionary programs. Rather drug programs are offered during incarceration. Drug addictions especially meth is particularly complex to treat as it changes the structures within the brain that does not necessarily manifest in physical ailments, as seen with opiates. The mental and cognitive repercussions can last several years, this includes apathy and depression which can often drive a former user to relapse, despite long-term sobriety. Unfortunately, the lack of accessibility to effective long-term treatment leads into this vicious cycle of incarceration, addiction and criminal activity.
@@hemera16 A friend of mine who has been fighting meth for about 18 years now says it's like fighting an octopus to get off meth. He does well for awhile but then something sends him down the rabbit-hole again and he's in bad shape. He's still trying to get meth's hooks out of him, though. It's hard to do because meth withdrawal isn't as relatively straightforward as cocaine or heroin withdrawal, not that either of those are a piece of cake whatsoever.
@@spe3173 because and I know this is going to be hard for you to comprehend but it's his job to arrest people for drug offences.
@@Only1199I know it's hard for you to understand but it's his job to be a father and a grand father also, but he couldn't care less about fullfilling that role.
Sorry for your loss. I am an addict too. I am 40 months sober. Each day I am grateful in extending my sobriety. Don't give her a pass. Stay strong. We addicts sometimes need a push to get sober.
Recovering addict???
God Bless this LE officer. I'd love to have a sheriff like this for my community!
Wow. I can't imagine how hard this was for this man. Hats off to him for having such amazing integrity.
I am so sorry for you sir and I respect you sooooo much! You may be totally opposite of my views politically but that doesn't matter. You have the kind of integrity that stays strong. What's wrong is wrong. You are amazing sir! I admire you in many ways.
I wish people with your integrity were the ones running our congress and senate. Unfortunately. 90% of them are just opportunist and crooks. Despite it all......hats off once again sir!
Thank you too, for reminding everyone that political parties don't matter as much as doing the right thing.
That’s heartbreaking, I can’t imagine how this Sheriff felt having to arrest his own daughter.
Shame on the daughter for putting her father in that position in the first place. Hope she’s gets a good long time in real jail to contemplate what a disappointment she is.
Shame on this man for enforcing tyrannical drug laws. Nobody has the right to tell anybody what chemicals they can and can't put in their own body
@@Thvndar .....itsillegalyoudumbass........and ogee , look - He's a Law Enforcement Officer !!!!
@@Thvndar amen!
@@Thvndar I really hope your comment is satire...
They dont care good for him lock het up for a long time kudos to this parent
Imagine having your dad as a sheriff, you’ll always get grounded.
Dam, what a difficult situation, that's a man that loves his daughter, gonna save her life, hope all works out and she gets on to a better life
Trafficking is unacceptable. He’s right about tough love I think. Being an addict is a sickness, but being a trafficker is not.
Thank you!
As someone who is a recovered addict,I can say that addiction is an illness, mental health illness actually!!!
Good on you Sheriff as a parent and officer of the law. I’m sure this has been devastating but you are doing both your jobs well with this choice your daughter has made for her, the grand babies, the family, and the streets. Many prayers for her to get the strength needed to get back on the good side of good. Prayers for the family to endure this season of confusion and pain. 🦋
This is the standard we expect from law enforcement officers, it is a pity that too few meet it! Regards
I am in awe, and amazed, by this man. For sticking to his guns, and not trying to cover this up.
His daughter is lucky.
I imagine this sheriff as a father , his sadness and disappointment.
First offenders must be given warnings and place rehabs centers, technical education and jobs. Support from families is key. Unfortunately for him, his daughter trafficking it means she loves this life style.
Especially since she had a good job. But it just wasn't enough. I wonder if she'll get out before her kids graduate? Since she was dealing, and apparently dealing _a lot,_ I kinda doubt it.
Who snitch?
I know that this was not an easy task for him but he should be immensely thanked for his integrity. I love that he knows jail isn't a fix for addiction. I'm confident his work is going to help people.
God bless you Sheriff. I am so incredibly sorry that you and your family are going through this. Parenting is not easy and difficult decisions are to be made. Your fellow neighbors appreciate the honor you showed to you fellow officers, your daughter and family as well as the world. Thank you and God bless you. ❤️🕊️☮️
