Resignation Letters of Dep. Flowers

Link to Dep. Flowers Resignation and POST Letters

A concerned citizen who felt the truth about Dep. Flowers resignation was not being told sent these documents to us. These two documents do seem to hint at that. After reading Mr. Ballinger’s letter in reference to the “alleged” assault perpetrated against him by Dep. Flowers, it is clear that Mr. Ballinger would not file charges if Dep. Flowers were never allowed to work in law enforcement again.  Allowing Dep. Flowers to resign stating that he was continuing his education simply is not true. However, it will allow him to work for another department if he wants.  Another interesting fact is that in the letter to the POST Commission Dep. Flowers was allowed to state the same reason for his resignation and this document is signed by Sheriff Davis himself, even though he “allegedly” knew the true reason for Dep. Flowers resignation was not to continue his education, yet because he “allegedly” assaulted a citizen. Is that another “alleged” example of Mr. Davis sacrificing the truth to protect one of his own regardless whether he has "allegedly" attacked a citizen in a drunken rage? In the course of receiving these documents, we were informed that this is not the first time Dep. Flowers has been in trouble for “allegedly” assaulting someone and that Sheriff Davis “allegedly” knew Dep. Flowers had been arrested for assault in the past before he "allegedly" attacked Mr. Ballinger. Sheriff Davis, even “allegedly”  knowing that Dep. Flowers had been arrested for assault, wrote a letter to Walter State where he recommended Dep. Flowers without reservation and stated that Dep. Flowers had good moral character and he (Davis) took great pleasure in recommending him and he would hiring him without hesitation.  Maybe that is the trouble with Mr. Davis; he does not hesitate enough when it comes to protecting the public by hiring better morally qualified individuals or making professional decisions about the appropriate use of taxpayer provided resources and buildings. Mr. Davis has hired individuals who have been arrested for assault, investigated for rape and “allegedly” committed civil rights violations. We wonder how this information will affect the newest lawsuit filed against the county in which Dep. Flowers in named as one of two Humphreys County Sheriff's deputies who, without probable cause, arrested and "allegedly" assaulted Mr. Glenn Capps. A suit that "alleges" the county is at fault for not taking action against Mr. Davis or others who "allegedly" commit misconduct and break the law. While the Humphreys County Sheriff’s Office has some outstanding deputies and employees, in our opinion, it is the individuals like Flowers, Phelps, Lee, Hedge, Ross, Edwards and a few others, as well as Mr. Davis himself, that make the entire department look bad.  What makes the entire county look bad is the fact that we have individuals like Mr. Wallace and “the Colonel” Mr. Williams who have the power to change things and protect the public safety and resources yet “allegedly”  turn their backs on common sense and the law for the sake of the “good-ole-boy” system. At least "the Colonel" does not try to hide his support for Mr. Davis. After all he has a "We support our Sheriff" sign on both sides of his mailbox. Those signs should read, "We don't support criminals. Unless your one of us!" We will be releasing additional information concerning incidents of “alleged” unlawful activities soon. Stay safe Humphreys County!
