FLORENCE--The Shoals Insider has received information via multiple sources that, Dr. William M. Roddy, a Florence physician, is authoring a auto-biographical account encompassing he and his wife’s drug related false arrests.
Several weeks after hearing of Dr. William Roddy’s plan for writing a candid and accurate account of he and his wife’s false arrests in March of 2010. Charges that were later dismissed, due to a complete lack of evidence.
Dr. Roddy tells the Shoals Insider, “The book will begin with the first encounter with the Huntsville police and Madison-Morgan County STAC Team, as we were enjoying a family celebration of my son’s 12th birthday at the Embassy Suites in Huntsville, Alabama.” Dr. Roddy initially appeared a bit guarded about the content of the book.
The Shoals Insider asked Dr. Roddy what the chronology of the book would reveal. He responded, “This publication will be a candid and most assuredly truthful account of our false arrests, and will span the events in our lives beginning with that weekend stay in Huntsville, Alabama, and will comprehensively provide the readers with detailed events all the way through the civil action.”
The Shoals Insider acknowledged to Dr. Roddy from documents obtained from the Madison County Courthouse that the arresting officer was Jason Ramsey of Madison County STAC Team and the prosecutor was Madison County Assistant District Attorney, James E. Tolleson, who works under Madison County District Attorney, Robert L. Broussard. The Insider asked Dr. Roddy if these people would be part of the contents of his book. Dr. Roddy replied that all individuals involved in he and his wife’s cases would be detailed, (Including his legal counselors, those responsible for supplying misinformation such as Sheffield Police Chief, Greg Ray, and many others would be very much in the body of his book. Dr. Roddy said, “If you read a sports magazine, the publishers and editors do not give pseudonyms for the players involved. Why should this be any different?”
The Shoals Insider inquired about the projected date of publication of Dr. Roddy’s book. Roddy responded that a good portion of the book had been written, but strongly emphasized that the completion date would obviously have to be after the civil proceedings against the perpetrators and other germane events are finalized. The Shoals Insider asked Dr. Roddy what degree of interest has been shown by publishing companies. He responded with a very seemingly pleased expression and said that he has indeed been contacted by several publishers and this has been a most welcome relief, as he being a first time writer, he thought he would have to do the pursuing.
Dr. Roddy said, “I firmly believe that my published work will be viewed as a strikingly accurate and shocking reality of how injustices not only vilify innocent citizens, but also damage the core of the vast majority in law enforcement and judicial system, who are truly upholders of the peace and those who are the gatekeepers.”
