Nick NatarioGalveston County Sheriff's office has 21 deputies retiring ahead of leadership change, many saying they don't want to work for the new administration.The outgoing Galveston County sheriff is seeing something he's never witnessed before with a mass exodus of employees before a new administration takes over.
This time, the names aren't for promotions but retirements, 21 names to be exact, with 724 years of experience. "The men and women who are still going to be carrying the badge and doing what they should be doing, I think, are going to do an outstanding job, whoever that may be," Trochesset explained.ABC13's news partners at the Houston Chronicle investigated the incoming sheriff. The Houston Chronicle found that a state commission stated that Fullen was untruthful twice about past incidents.
"Tension is up," Hernandez explained. "There are still some people that don't know what's going to happen with their jobs."
