Sheriff Larry Waller
Smith demands Waller's resignation
Days after being cleared of charges of allegedly taping a riot control grenade to an inmate's neck, former LCSO captain Grier T. Smith is calling for sheriff Larry Waller to step down.
I believe Mr. Smith should seek the advice of an attorney.
From what I understand, Mr. Waller called in the GBI to investigate this, they did, and presented it to the grand jury. Smith was no billed, he should be THANKFUL and move along.
My question is, why would this be considered a "Breaking story" because a citizen is making an irrational demand of an official? Happens all the time.
If you have been wronged then you wouldn't have any problem taking action. That comment sounds like a subtle plea to the public for sympathy. It sounds like you want to get revenge on Waller and you seek the public to be on your side.
I have nothing against you or Waller but I despise a wolf in sheep’s clothing trying to hide under a halo while toting a pitchfork in their hand.
thats the best description of larry waller i ever heard.great post
Current Sheriff calls in second agency due to a complaint againts his department that was handled in-house by the prior administration.
Grier is found innocent by grand jury even after admitting to taping a "dummy" round (but was sure to tape the pin down) around the neck of an inmate so out of it due to drugs that he can't even remember anything that happened.
Grier threatens to sue the Sheriff for referring the case to the GBI. (Extortion anyone?)
Just making sure I had the timeline correct. Grier using the lines "I don't want to cause the county money" and "I'll donate everything to charity" is simply to get the airheaded to bash Waller and get behind the saint Grier. The same saint that has been before the grand jury TWICE now under BOTH Sheriff administrations. I can't be the only one that sees through this right?
This should not be a breaking story....in fact why is this even news!
Grier you need to let go of you anger and move on.
Please do not concern yourselves with any threat Grier Smith makes about suing the county. If he does then I will sue him and will give the county the money back!
For the people who were on the grand jury:
Grier lied to you and took advantage of the fact that you trust what he says. Grier is a very sick individual and needs help. He has always made his way in this life by bullying and being manipulative. He is a psychopath and meets the same personality and character profile of those who do terrorist acts to hurt our country. He will soon be found out. There is a higher court watching everything that is going on and the truth always come to the surface. Keep giving the man his rope...he will hang himself. Its only a matter of time.
If you knew ME then you would have the courage to put your name with your statement.
Would you like to meet in person? Maybe we can catch up on each other.....since you say you know me. Hmmmm?
Somebody's trying to rally support for a case he knows he doesn't have. What a laugh...
If this former inmate decides to obtain an attorney, or as I suspect, one obtains him after reading all these news accounts, then Mr. Grier better beware, because all his grandstanding has now brought this case to light. I tend to believe this is just getting started.
Congradulations, Mr. Smith. You have just opened yourself a whole new can of worms.
Are you going to demand that you be elected sheriff, too?
Please talk to your pastor, lawyer, parents and family and try to get some sound, stable advice.
Your mental health is greatly in question.
Both mom and son were indicted by June term grand jury.
Having said that, I feel that Sheriff Waller handled this properly, in as far as going outside the department to an unbiased investigatory source. This indemnified the department and himself of any appearance of impropriety. Very intelligent move.
Grier needs to learn to appreciate the fact that he was investigated fairly and reasonably and exonerated.
