An Associated Press investigation unleashed details about a deadly mass shooting that back up San Jacinto County neighbors' 'disgust' with the sheriff after alleged corruption.
San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers' resignation is wanted after an AP investigation countered the reported response time to a deadly mass shooting.Some San Jacinto County neighbors are calling for the sheriff to resign, while county leaders said an investigation conducted by the Associated Press could lead to a discussion this week.
"It makes you feel like you have no hope or no help, and you want to do something about it," Tiller said. "That's why I've been so vocal and so mad about what transpired." Now, the AP said call logs show it took 42 minutes after the first call about gunfire was received. By the time deputies arrived, five people were dead, and Oropeza took off."It makes me mad," Tiller said. "I knew he was dancing around it to make himself look good when the issue transpired.". They responded to Oropeza's home three other times, including once for abusing his wife. Deputies say he wasn't arrested because his wife didn't want to press charges.
"You disgust me," Tiller said. "You portray yourself as a good ole boy sheriff, but there's nothing good about you. I don't want you as sheriff no more. You need to resign."However, Commissioner Laddie McAnally told ABC13 it's possible the matter is discussed in an executive session. He wants to see more information before calling for any action."It could be my family. It could be my neighbor. It could be my friend.
