Is there any truth to the rumors that the sheriff has documented DUI's? I keep hearing these rumors but you would think someone would have posted a copy of the arrest report since it is public record if it was true. Too bad there isn't a REAL newspaper around that would have investigated that a long time ago and printed the truth, whatever it may be. If it's not true it would put the rumors to rest. If it is true the public has the right to know.

He was arrested in White County in 1997, DUI and attempting to run from the Deputy. I know a friend of mine has the report but he seems to be waiting to post it.

It might be good to run a criminal back ground check on all politicians. If we did that we would most likely see a steep decline in candidates.
I like Scott he really helped us out and made our family feel secure during a bad situation.

Doug Loyd and Tom Jones where required to submit to a criminal background check to run for Sheriff. Scott was not required to do so because he is already in office. I would like to see Scott’s current background check and driver’s license record. When he took office in 2000, his license was suspended. The other two Sheriff candidates have never been arrested. Wow, that’s amazing, we actually have a Sheriff that has been arrested for DUI and lost his driver’s license while he was a Deputy.

Why is Doug Loyd running for Sheriff? I have met him and he seems okay but he appears to be a small fish in a big pond. He offers a lot of ideals but when questions, he never has any details. He always says he will need to get back with you. Then when you ask him later, he still has no details. I checked out his record. He was a Deputy for six years but that’s about it. No management experience. Nothing. I asked him if he had any signs and he told me that he does not have any money. I don’t know for sure but I would guess that a race like this would cost around $20,000. The Sheriff seems to be chasing Mr. Jones not Doug Loyd. Every time I hear Mr. Jones talk, it’s about the Sheriff. Doug seems to like the Sheriff. I looked at Doug website, no to much. Mr. Jones website had over 10,000 hits. I emailed Mr. Jones one question; what would you do to get the sheriff’s office budget under control? He sent me five pages of information. I asked the exact question of Mr. Loyd. He said he would have an open door policy so the public could review the budget. I guess I am supposed to get it under control. I don’t think we need a Sheriff that will require on the job training.

Hmmm, I have asked Doug many questions and got very detailed answers.

Doug Loyd applied to be a Deputy at the Towns County Sheriff’s Office a month and a half ago but was not hired because he failed his background check. I wonder what’s wrong with his background.

In the know that is purely a rumor started by a group of Tom Jones groupies, maybe even started by Tom Jones himself.
The same two posters come on Topix fighting with yourselves and spewing lies, now you come on here as a "guest" spewing the same garbage. Ontheroad and Intheknow are the same person, in one post you say Doug isn't even in the race the next post you are spreading lies. I guess it would be hard keeping your personalities straight. I will tell you what I tell my kids: Just be yourself.
To Mr. Jones, If you are so small you have to continue to spread lies or stand by your followers speading the lies, I guess it is good we see what you stand for now. Sad.

I doubt it's Jones himself betsy, probably just an overzealous Jones supporter.

I should not have wrote that, I am just OVER the rumors. If you do not like Doug do not vote for him, but stop the lies. Vote for who you want and leave the others alone. It is ALWAYS the Jones supporters, I would be embarrassed if I were him.
