Full disclosure: I know Sgt. Troy Liquin and have always thought he’s a stand up guy. My personal bias leads me to believe there’s more to this story than was reported this morning in The Herald Journal.
So without me offering my own personal comment beyond that, I offer you the nuts of the story: A man was booked into the CC Jail is claiming he was harassed by the sheriff’s officials who booked him in jail.

We will have to see what happens. Definitely unprofessional. Really no excuse for the behavior. Is it the end of the world, no. Some training in professionalism is definitely needed.

Officers should be held to a higher standard.
