Dozens of deputies show up at BOC meeting due to ‘legitimate safety concerns,’ sheriff says
Over 50 deputies showed up to Thursday night’s Newton County Board of Commissioners called meeting due to what Sheriff Ezell Brown has touted as “legitimate safety concerns.” On early Thursday afternoon, Sheriff Ezell Brown issued an internal memo directing all available personnel to be in attendance for the meeting. While it was not clear at the time as to why this memo was issued, Brown clarified the reasoning in a statement after the meeting was adjourned.
