I received an e-mail just a little while ago. Here is part of it. The link is to a Timesdaily article published Oct 22 1999.

Daniel Steve Glover currently Cherokee Town Council President Pro-tem and LCSO Sheriff Deputy.

SEE THE REGION SECTION OF THE TIMESDAILY, UNDER TRI-STATE REPORT, SECTION 1B ON THE UPPER LEFT SIDE. BETWEEN PAGE 5 AND 6. DANIEL STEVE GLOVER ARRESTED FOR FIRST DEGREE THEFT OF PROPERTY AND FIRST DEGREE ROBBERY. HE SHOULD NOT BE ON THE TOWN COUNCIL OR BE AN LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER.

http://news.google.com/newspap...ma&pg=1749%2C3029848

Daniel Glover started as an reserve deputy with the Colbert County Sheriff's Office around the end of 2002 or 2003. If this is true, what the he$$ is going on at the Colbert County Sheriff's Office.

Another reason to vote Ronnie May out of office. Hiring someone that was arrested for first degree theft of property

Ronnie May's time has come and gone. He's been sitting on his butt for 4 years while drugs over run our county. Numerous unresolved deaths and murders, the lowest morale right now in our Sherriffs department, and we have lost the best and brightest in deputies for the worst and dumbest.

I know many in the department, I know many on the drug task force, and I know many in the DA's office. They are all praying we wake up and make the change.

I'm voting for Don Terry, he's the only man in the race adequately qualified, and he is raring to bust up the organized crime in this county, that goes to the highest levels of our county.

Don Terry is retired from the police force in Muscle Shoals.

Len Gregory is running also. He is a school resource officer. He spends his time bragging to the boys in school about getting drunk in Germany when he was in service.

There is a guy in Cherokee named Mooneyhan. I don't know anything about him except he's not a serious contender.
Don Terry is a retired sergeant from Muscle Shoals police. He is also a army vietnam veteran. Hes also stated the only money that would go with him is his salary. Pistol permit money, as well as money left over from food would go toward equipment for his employees. Ask Mr. May what he does with pistol permit money and extra food. Also ask Mr. May why its taken 12 years to talk about changing deputies uniforms, giving them take home cars and also letting them have patrol rifles. Im voting for Don Terry!
Len Gergory works for the City of Sheffield Police dept. He has 15 years law enforcemnet experience, 16 years military experience, and work serveral years in a Alabama State prison.

50% of the Sheriff's job is hanling the jail. Don terry does not have any jail experience. one thing for sure, I would never leave my wife in a room with Don Terry, he is a big perv.

I'm sure Don has put people in jail before.
Putting people in jail and running a jail are two separate things. If people only knew what goes on in the office right now they would be shocked at least I am after learning of some of the things that go on there. What needs to be known is what due the people of Colbert County expect from the Sheriff whomever that may be. Is it someone who shakes your hand when you see him, unlocks your car when they are shorthanded and your homes are broken in to? Before you vote take a good look at who and what you are voting for. Always look at the big picture and dont just go by well my frieds brother knows him so I will vote for him. Why is it that the small cities have so many officers and the Sheriff's office is understaffed. And people wonder why there homes are broken into there aren't enough deputies to cover the area. Just listen to a scanner for one day and you will hear what they do all day funeral escorts, prisoner transports and car unlocks, sometime they may unlock 20 or more cars in a day. Is this what these deputies should be doing? No they should be out patroling the county trying to fight drugs and thefts and everything else these are Law enforcement officers not AAA. These deputies go out everday and night for little pay which they know is part of the job but that doesnt make it right. They should have every resource available to do there job. There are many grants available for these officer's if only the Sheriff would apply for them. Well enough for now more to come later just please take the time and think about who you will vote for and if you are not sure ask the candidates what they are gonna do to solve this but remember they are politicians and they are just looking for your vote. Also ask the current Sheriff what his plans are to make changes to solve some of thesse issues.
concerned,
You and I are in agreement as to the big trouble we are in. We have some organized corruption and drug trade going to some very high people in the county.

Just go look at Lawrence county. They have a drug bust weekly. You haven't seen one in Colbert in a long time. I know the Sherriff goes to a certain house in this county every Thursday at the same time every week and leaves at the same time a few minutes later.

There is alot I can say but this is not the place to do it.

We need change BAD!!!!!
If you love your kids and grand kids, elect a new sherriff.
Concernedcitizen I have heard the same thing. Solution to that is, they need to vote for Don Terry when the election rolls around! The Sheriff of Colbert Co. has let things get beyond out of hand. The jail is a train wreck, yet the sheriff keeps lining his pockets with money from pistol permits, as well as money left over from inmate food budget. Thanks Sheriff for making my vote easy!

Not my wife i'd worry about with Don.....its my 14yr old daughter i'd worry about. I know several people who had experiences with him asking out their underage children. Not the man I want in office. Ronnie May still has my vote.

Yep,
I went down thru the high drug areas and saw they were voting for Ronnie too.

Your statement about Don is over the top. You got no evidence for your slander. But I hope you and Ronnie continue with your muck raking, it will make it easier for people like myself to drop the hammer.
Ask Ronnie about a gun he picked up at wiped off at a crime scene.
The last time that I had lunch at Sweet Peppers, I saw Don Terry there, having lunch was two former Muscle Shoals Club owners. He came over to me, informing me that he was running for sheriff and asking for me vote. The look on his face when I told him that I could not vote for him was priceless. When he asked why, I told him that it was simple. I was no longer a Colbert County resident.

Some of you people are silly:

Colbert DTF Bust:
Feb 6, 2010
Feb 6, 2010 again
Feb 5, 2010
Jan 22, 2010
Jan 17, 2010

And that's just the one's that made the paper. There is no telling how many cases were made to try and get to some of these people that were not put in the paper. And while I respect all Drug Task Forces, the comment about Lawrence County...well, everytime somebody gets arrested for a box of psuedoephedrine and it's called "Manufacturing" because of intent and/or getting arrested for a glass pipe as paraphernalia, isn't really a drug case. Not every case that's made is for your viewing pleasure.

It's my understanding that the Colbert County Drug Task Force has 2 Agents and a Supervisor to control drugs in the entire county and assist the other counties and agencies with murder cases, bank robberies and thefts when they can. Now how do you think some of you people would feel if you worked at TVA Wilson Dam and they sent two of you below it and told you to find a way to stop the spillways from flowing water when there fully open? It's something that's NOT going to be fixed with Ronnie May or any other Sheriff. It's a national problem.

I know for a fact that information backed up by facts were turned over to the Sherriff over a year ago on a very big fish in CC. The investigation has never been started. I can drive down the road and pick out the drug houses.

You can do that in any county. The unfortunate thing is (just like everywhere else in Alabama) the police can make 50 drug buys off 5 different people at these "drug houses" and then arrest them and they'll be out before noon. If they receive a sentence less than 15 years they can be out of prison in 4 MONTHS! Now what and where do you think they're going to go and do when they get out? Right back to the same spot doing the same thing. You got a problem with that...then write Montgomery.

Absolutely disgusting that you'd dig up something like this just to achieve a goal. Just come out and say you don't like May.

Don't hide behind a username. Coward.

Poor baby, someone stated the truth about your friend Ronnie May. What is disgusting is that this guy was running around Colbert County with a gun, that Ronnie May put in his hands. The facts are the facts, Sheriff Ronnie May hired a person that was arrested, pled guilty, and received youthful offender status for first degree theft of property and robbery. This forum post was about Daniel Steve Glover, not the Sheriff but it does prove Sheriff May is unfit to complete a simple background check. I guess the Sherriff was too busy taking the pistol permit money and the leftover food fund to his bank account.

No, I don't know him or Glover. I just think you're a jaques-donkey.
No, I don't even know him or the Glover fellow. I just think you're a *******.[/QUOTE]

I am a****** for trying to tell people about a possible problem in their county. Get real and grow up. I am a Sherriff's Deputy and this 1999 article makes me sick, and the lack of a proper background check makes my even sicker. It is time for a new Sheriff.

This makes it crystal clear. You have an axe to grind.



No it makes it crystal clear that Ronnie has lost control of the department and lost the respect of his staff.

I don't know if a new sheriff is needed in Colbert County or not. I don't live there. I just don't like politically/personally derogative comments being presented as altruism for the community.
A deputy in Colbert County has just as much right to comment on a political race as any other citizen. In regards to the office of which he is familiar, his experience should be valued, not ridiculed.
If we followed your thesis, all the people on the drug task force, as well as the other deputies (some of whom I know and are fed up) should be dismissed as "having an ax to grind".
Remember, when you have someone trying to harm you, these are the people who respond, they deserve the best leader we can supply.
I have no ax to grind. This was a forum about Daniel Steve Glover and it turned to the Sheriff’s race. You attacked me and I have to set the record straight.

I think Ronnie May is a good person. I think he was a good investigator but he does not have what it takes to run a department. Facts are facts, not everyone is a good manager and Sheriff May has proved time after time that he is not a good manager.

There is a big difference between being friends with the Sheriff and being an employee of the Sheriff. When Buddy was Sheriff, the dept would have to hire a new employee about once or twice a year. That would include all employee’s, Deputy, Dispatches, jailers, and office employees. Since May 2007 the Sheriff’s office has hired over 20 new employees. No new positions were created, employees quit and their position filled. This does not include office personal. The Assistant Chief Deputy just quit in Nov 2009. That is unheard of. http://www.colbertcounty.org/sheriff/employment.html

Why are so many people quitting their jobs? Because the moral is at an all time low. Some would say pay, which is not it. One Deputy quit and went to Tuscumbia PD, taking a pay cut. Three went to Sheffield PD, taking a pay cut. So pay is not it. The right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. The best way to describe it would be by stating the facts. The Sheriff does not know what is going on in the dept. I have seen with my own eyes and heard with my own ears orders giving out by the Sheriff to Deputies in meetings. The deputies do not follow his orders and he does not do anything about it. When deputies tell the Sheriff about it he gets defensive and states he will look into it.

The above is just the top of the ice berg. One Deputy pulled out his gun and pointed it at the head of another Deputy for stepping on his boot. The only thing done was the Deputy got 3 days off. He should have been fired for it. One Reserve Deputy who is over 80 pulled his gun and fired it by accident, almost hitting a person. He should have been retired. He did several years later.(Good bye old friend. One Deputy pulled his gun and again fired it by accident and denied it every happened. When they pulled the video, it showed him doing it. Nothing was done. How can this Deputy ever testify in court again after being caught lying? This is why everyone is quitting. This is why morale is low. Let’s do not forget about the three jailers caught bringing things into the jail and the women dispatch caught having sex with an inmate at the jail and the deputy sheriff that ran off the road and failed his drug test. The Colbert County Sheriff’s Office is out of control.

There is so much more going on. The buck stops at the Sheriff’s doorstep. If he does not know what is going on or he allows what is going on he is just as wrong. Sometimes it is just time to retire. Maybe he has lost interests, maybe he is busy with other things, but he is paid to keep the dept going and protects the citizens of Colbert County. When morale is as low as it is, employees do not do their best; they do not try as much. That my friend puts all of us at danger.

Much better. Should've come out with this first. It seems more honest.

Len Gregory is running also. He is a school resource officer. He spends his time bragging to the boys in school about getting drunk in Germany when he was in service.

I should say WAS. He was a school resource officer for Colberty County schools.
All the other comments were accurate. My 18 year old knows him well and laughed when he heard he was running. He said he was very immature. He common topic of conversation with teenage boys was alcohol and the comsumption of it.
