Butler County Sheriff Takes Stand Against Evictions

The Honorable President-Elect Obama:

Congratulations on your successful campaign for President of the United States of America.

This letter is in regard to illegal immigration, illegal drugs and violence. The past eight years have seen an increase in drugs coming from Mexico to the United States. The violence on the Mexico – United States border has increased to the point of United States citizens being kidnapped, taken into Mexico and held for ransom.

The drugs coming from Mexico to the United States is out of control and it appears we have no policy to control any of these serious problems. I believe they need to be addressed by the new President.

Sir, I realize you have a great number of issues to address as you take office. Please give consideration when addressing the issues I have mentioned. Hopefully the members of Congress, Senate and Representatives can come up with a policy that will save this country from the mire before the conditions get worse.

We all know that it will take compromises from all sides. When planning policy for these issues, please consider the needs of the front line law enforcement agencies, jails and prison systems.

Again, congratulations on your election to the Office of President of the United States of America. Thank you for your time.

Respectfully submitted,
Richard. K. Jones

Butler County No Longer Under Level One Emergency

The first canine participant in the program named ‘Fonzie’ is an approximate one-year-old previously abused dog being housed at the Animal Shelter and . Fonzie was transferred from the shelter to the jail where he will live in a cell with a prisoner who will be responsible to train him in basic commands (sit, stay, lay down, etc). The training is expected to help make Fonzie more adoptable. Melvin Shidler, a recognized local dog trainer, will work with the prisoner, helping the prisoner learn how to train the dog.

I believe this is a “win-win” for everybody involved. The Animal Shelter benefits by getting some basic dog obedience training for free and the dog benefits by becoming more adoptable! Additionally, there are not just ‘therapeutic’ benefits for the prisoner, but the prisoner can also learn and develop animal-handling skill or basic animal treatment respect that can be utilized upon release from jail. I believe this program has a lot of potential. We’re going to start with one dog, but I hope to expand it to a few more, in the future. I’m glad to have it in my jail.

I sent undercover officers into the dealership and on their very first attempt, my undercover officers were sold fake identification cards. The dealership then used the new fake ID to facilitate the sale of vehicles. Subsequently the dealership proceeded to process the title and registration under this known fake identification. After further investigation, it was reveal that the social security number provided actually belonged to someone else!

Over the next several months, the undercover Officers were able to make several similar transactions. The Social Security Administration and the State of Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles was brought into to assist in this investigation. The BMV was able to identify about 30 similar transactions from these dealerships in a two month period.

At one point during this investigation, undercover officers were contacted by one of the suspects who oddly enough identified himself as a ‘Detective with the Butler County Sheriff’s Office’. The suspect was trying to coerce undercover officers into making additional payments and had no idea he was actually dealing with real undercover officers from the Sheriff’s Office!

Search warrants were executed at three local car dealerships and nine individuals are expected to be arrested and charged on 34 indictments ranging from tampering with records to impersonating a law enforcement officer. The owners of the dealerships are included in those arrested. I will be working with local ICE officials regarding several of the suspects who have been identified as illegal aliens.

The vehicles purchased by undercover officers in this investigation were not in very good condition and were obviously overpriced which indicated to undercover officers that the dealerships were looking for huge profits from the illegal transactions. The dealerships also allowed one employee, an illegal alien, to change his name, date of birth, and social security number. That employee purchased the information of a real person so he could become a certified sales person through the BMV.

The investigation also found that individual had been arrested under 4 different names and 2 different social security numbers. In addition, the dealerships would pose as detectives with the Butler County Sheriff’s Office in an attempt to force payments. Investigators believe this ploy was used to intimidate illegal aliens because of my stance on illegal immigration.

I would like to express a special thanks to Butler County Prosecutor Robin Piper and members of his office, John Schubenski of the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, and Officials from the Social Security Administration, who assisted with the investigations. The coordination and cooperation with these individuals and departments played an essential role in the operation.

At times it seemed like I was trying to climb Mt. Everest. I’d get to a point and be stalled for awhile, and then I’d push forward again. I kept pushing despite all the opposition because I believe the goal is worth all the effort. Now I can report that we finally have our flag flying at the top of the mountain.

We made it.

The Butler County Sheriff’s Office now has eight ICE-Trained deputies to deal with the illegal aliens who have committed crimes and are incarcerated in the county jail. Now, instead of simply putting illegals who commit crimes back on the street and back into the county, we will be able to expedite putting them out of the country!

But let me remind everyone that the only illegals I’m interested in right now are the ones that are committing crimes and coming into my jail. They are the ones that I feel Butler County taxpayers shouldn’t be paying for.

I don’t have a problem with people coming here to try feed their families. I can see why they want to come to the greatest country in the world.

But ones that sneak into this country in the middle of the night and rape, rob, steal, sell drugs, or otherwise break our nations laws…

Those are the ones I deal with.
