An Ohio sheriff’s patrol commander in Clark County, Lt. John Rodgers, recently made headlines for his controversial Facebook posts where he stated that he would not help Democrats and would require proof of who a person voted for before providing aid. Rodgers, a 20-year veteran of the sheriff’s office, blamed prescribed sleep aids for his actions, calling them 'out of character.'
Rodgers received a written reprimand for violating the department’s social media policy but will remain on duty. The sheriff’s office emphasized that his posts do not reflect the office’s mission and values, and they are working to rebuild trust with the community.
