BUT WILL INDISCRETION COST HIM HIS JOB?

Darlington County, S.C. Sheriff Wayne Byrd has admitted to having an affair with a subordinate – although it remains to be seen whether the corrupt local law enforcement official will be held accountable for his actions.

Byrd made the admission in court documents related to a lawsuit against him and his department, sources familiar with the case tell FITS.

According to a wrongful termination lawsuit filed in 2012 by former Darlington Sheriff’s lieutenant Mike Hall, Byrd fired him as part of an effort to cover-up his affair with Kristan Jeffords – who at the time was Byrd’s assistant.

Byrd’s affair with Jeffords came to light after he used a public computer and printer to send her a love letter.

“I stand here tonight longing for your touch,” the letter stated. “I can’t have you and I can’t live without you. Our day will come. I want you. I need you. I love you.”

Sheesh …

Jeffords was arrested in February of this year on charges of assault and battery after an altercation with another woman outside of a home in Hartsville, S.C. According to reporter Tonya Brown of WPDE TV 15 (ABC – Florence-Myrtle Beach), the incident involving Jeffords was investigated by the Florence County Sheriff’s Department at Byrd’s request.

Well, the bald small town sheriff that tightens his belt so much that he sports a perpetual muffin top look in uniform probably doesn’t have a lot of choices when it comes to small town poon while cheating on his wife.

I feel bad for the kids.

This lady ran my plates and gave the information to her sister which is illegal. I knew it would not do any good to report her especially if I would have reported it to Mr. Byrd as suggested.

My son was driving my car he is a teenager and he flipped her sister off ( he should not have done this) but that night I get a facebook message from her sister asking me if I drove a certain car to which she knew the make and model not to mention my name to look me up. She said I ran your plates and wanted to know why your son flipped me off. I thought how did she get all my information. Then after I investigated it I realized who her sister was.. I knew this lady could not get all this information in a 10 minute period at 9:00 at night. Really made me mad but I decided to just let it go. I did not want her to lose her job. This was about a month ago and now I see this.

Let the person who is in charge over handling to computers at SLED know that. They allow the computer access law enforcement in SC uses to get such information. That pisses them off!

Dead on… and results in NCIC access revocation. BAD juju.

Crap like this makes it hard on good cops. Even if the deputy did nothing, her idiot sister has caused her and the whole profession a problem.

My sister did not run the plates….I told u I had them ran…. but did not……I followed him home…. then reversed your address…. it’s not that hard to do…..it was the way this boy did it when he flipped me off. No I’m not special just wanted to know ow who my hater was…..

Loony tune, what you did is harassment…. have your sister look up the statute. By the way, SLED maintains records of ALL plate runs/NCIC. Easy to check with a complaint to SLED.

I wonder of Byrd is one of those Sheriffs who prohibits his deputies from sleeping with anyone but their spouse, but who the rules don’t apply to when it is time to wet his willie somewhere.

Wow he cheated on his wife for that? Damn she ugly and sounds like an idiot too. Hmm sounds like the perfect match i guess. I remember seeing Byrd in local establishment in my county. My nephew pointed at him and said cool he is a cop, i told him NOPE he is a fake cop. And he enjoys destroying good cops’ careers. Sam Parker is doing time in prison right now. So Byrd is not untouchable either.

Affairs aside, law enforcement in S.C. can generally be assumed as corrupt for a starting point and actual honest policing should be seen as a gift to the people that’s doled out like a pardon from the gov. when you’re on death row.

Every police force has some corruption to it but SC seems to revel in it. Whether it be SLED, Highway Patrol, town police, county sheriffs, city police or campus police they are into extortion, kick backs, payoffs, double standards, rampant racism, bullying, beatings, excessive force, mismanagement, unlawful arrest, unlawful seizure, entrapment, tampering, manufacturing evidence, lying, stealing, double dealing…and on and on.

Hey FITS: I’d sue Byrd for plagiarism if I were you. That passage from his love letter sounds EXACTLY like the excerpt from your “book” you were gonna publish (D@*n that crashed hard-drive) that would proof-positive of the affair you claim happened.

Mr. Folks is still working at it —-
————————————–
Privishing (private publishing) is a recently coined term for publishing a book in such a small amount, or with such lack of marketing, advertising or sales support from the publisher, that the book effectively does not reach the public.
The book, while nominally published, is almost impossible to obtain through normal channels such as bookshops, often cannot be special-ordered and will have a notable lack of support from its publisher, including refusals to reprint the title.
Depending on the motivation, privishing may constitute not printing more books than the publisher believes will sell in a reasonable length of time. (WIKI)
