This is gonna cost the county some lawsuit money.
They arrest this guy with no freaking evidence.
I am starting to wonder if anyone in a position of authority in Paulding county is qualified to be a dog catcher.
I mean if some news reporter can see that the guy couldn't have done the crime, how in the **** couldn't the sheriff's investigators see it?
I mean, isn't that sorta part of the job description?
Should we now send all our criminal investigations to a news reporter to see if the case is a good one or just plain BS?
The whole county is making Clayton look like a well run machine.

I have agree St. Radial. Mike Jones is a likeable guy, if he's not making fun of you in emails to other county employees. Mr. Turnbul's life has been tarnished and for over a year, he's had this hanging over him.
I think people want to believe what they want to believe. Sometimes the truth is hard to swallow.
A HUGE thank you to Candi Goldman that gave Dale Russell the information needed to look deeper into the extortion claim. And of course, there will be more. The DA has recused himself from the investigation and the grand jury has subpoenaed the background checks.

It's always the cover up that causes the biggest problem, not the original mistake.naturegirl date=1429151688 said:
Wonder what would have happened if when these background checks were first brought up, they were made available.
Also I know would like to know what Jones was up to while traveling on county business.
What a freaking mess, all because some men are determined to prove who has the biggest wiener.

Here is the video from the 10:00 report: http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/story/28815364/paulding-sheriff-iteam#.VS8hVJjc6uI.facebook

Lover of BS!
Wow. I keep typing a response, and then deleting it, so I guess I'm pretty much speechless. I guess we wait now for the rest of the fallout. I was told about the subpoenas recently, so I knew those would be coming.
The information about Mr. Turnbull is unbelievable. I don't know what will come from the rest of this story, but I'm certainly glad this entire thing came to light if for nothing more than an innocent man has had his name cleared. I can't imagine what he and his family have been through.

I woke up with this thought.
When the so called extortionist sends Mr Jones a text saying that he is sure Mr Jones wouldn't want his wife to know about a half million in cash and/or of Mr Jones's escapades while on county business, Mr Jones doesn't reply with something like, "What cash? What escapades? What in the heck are you talking about? You must be nuts."
No, he doesn't say anything like that.
What is his response?
"What do you want?"
Makes you wonder, doesn't it.
I mean, think about it.
This blackmailer isn't threatening to go the the law or news about this half million in cash, he is threatening to go the wife, with what we suppose are false tales.
How can you extort money from someone that way?
"Honey, look at this wacky text I got from some nut case. I wish we had a half mil in cash, don't you?"
Wouldn't that put the kibosh on the crooks plan?
I also wonder if LE ever asked themselves, hmmmm, usually you extort money out of someone by threatening to tell some nasty truth about them.
Hard to get someone to pay to keep something quiet that doesn't exist.
If you don't give me money, I will tell your wife you have a large amount of cash hidden.
Go ahead and tell her, she knows if I had a large amount of cash hidden, we wouldn't have had that fight over me wanting a new big screen TV.

The extortion story was always a smokescreen.

Just wow. I also had heard about the subpoenas through the grapevine and assumed the report would be on the names. As I have said before I really did not want them out there because those people were innocent, I had no idea it would turn out that the man indited was. :faint I can not imagine what he and his family are feeling right now, and I am beyond shocked that all this occurred. @stradial I do believe you are right that there could be a lawsuit over this, and honestly who could blame him? Time, money, his name. SMH
As for the post you wrote about his response to the text, I would say that does appear as a "caught" response. Not so much on money....especially with going to the wife, but the Vegas and other place they mentioned. SMH again.

I honestly hadn't been following this "story" in depth.
The one major piece to the puzzle, for me, is the connection between Turnbull and Jones? Turnbull says he doesn't even know Jones. So, is Turnbull a peon in a big conspiracy?
Frankly, from the video interview and the video in the Dollar General store, Turnbull doesn't come across as any criminal mastermind. If he is involved in this, he's nothing more than a stooge. And more than likely he's just caught up in some circumstances and bad investigation.
I also noted in the TV video that Gulledge never said a word publicly even though he was sitting at the table.
Really makes me wish J K Rogers had won the Sheriff's office.
