Florida Sheriff Nicholas Finch Arrested for Doing His Job | The Guardian Express
The residents of Liberty County, Florida heard the news Wednesday that their Sheriff was arrested for doing his job. Sheriff Nicholas Finch, 50, was booked into the Liberty County Jail around 5 pm Tuesday. Florida Governor Rick Scott has named Carl Causey to the post of interim county sheriff. Liberty County is situated in the Florida panhandle, about 40 miles west of the state capital, Tallahassee.
Finch is being charged with official misconduct. He was released from jail on his own recognizance shortly after being booked in.
The charge is related to an incident in March, in which a deputy sheriff arrested a resident of the county for carrying a concealed weapon. Finch made the decision to release the individual shortly afterwards. It is alleged that he then altered or destroyed paperwork relating to the arrest.

One jail worker told investigators that after Hoagland left the jail, Finch arrived with one of Parrish's family members and spoke with Floyd Parrish inside the holding cell. Finch then went into the jail control room, took possession of the arrest file and said Parrish would be released and no charges would be filed, according to court records.
Hoagland told investigators that several days later, he talked with Finch about Parrish's release, and Finch told him he "believed in Second Amendment rights."
Investigators said in court records that Parrish's name was whited-out from the county jail log. While Hoagland was able to provide a copy of Parrish's arrest affidavit, the original arrest record has not been found.

With those facts now known, I am going to say that the Sheriff needed to be arrested.
Not for releasing the man, but for altering and destroying the official paperwork already done.
That is the illegal part and he should have known better.

The Feds think they'll get away with this? They better start teaching about Jury Nullification everywhere, now.
The same results could have been achieved while handling this differently.
The sheriff did the right thing the wrong way.
Shoulda placed his deputy on some sort of administrative leave in the process.
Charges can be administratively be dismissed, dropped, whatever, without destroying the documentation.
Where a department places its emphasis is standard in every agency.The same results could have been achieved while handling this differently.

So the sheriff should have punished his officer for enforcing the law? The sheriff is the arbiter of which laws passed by the state government are to be allowed. An interesting approach.
