Does this mean Barney Fife gets to be Sheriff for the day in July! C'mon Andy!

Trial Of The Century, hon....

Would you vote for George Johnson to replace

George is a great guy I went to HS with him. He is not right on everything ,but he is a honest guy....... IMHO

I just don't think Bateman will ever get passed this

 

[Rack&Roll]

Sorry, who's George?

Bateman using the G'damn Bitch Set Me Up Defense?

George Johnson was the previous Sheriff (1994-2007). He had then become Superintendent of the DNR. He left that for an unsuccessful run at County Exec, losing to Steve Schuh.

I got to listen to George at a polling site in '14, while doing the daywalker thing.

Seemed a decent guy, personable, and didn't come off as a raging lefty

Went to college with both of them back in the day. George was a great guy, Ron was more spit an polish. Of the two, George would definitely be my choice.

Truth in Advertising..... I was also George's neighbor for a few years.

Well, Ronnie was (in more ways than I'll discuss here) his MSP father's "product".

Excellence was always the expectation, but also a life of some degree of privilege (though not necessarily 'means'). He was treated like a little prince, as long as he toed the line.

George didnt leave DNR to run. He maintained his position through the campaign. He might still be there for all I know, unless Hogan replaced him. George is not a friend of 2A, but then again neither is Ron.

Heard scuttlebutt George wasn't a friend of 2A, but noting specific.

Anyone have any non rumors on his stance on 2A?

He's no longer there.

Didn't see where this had been posted yet. Bateman acquitted, wife refused to testify. So, there it is.

She's fat and he's still a dick.

 

[John from MD]

Worked with George and Ron back in the day. Ron always dressed to the 9's but his ethics were questionable. He used to hand out his girl friends business cards (hairdressing as I recall) to anyone he ran into. He did this while in uniform.

As far as sheriff business goes, George would take the C&R apps that the feds said to send to the local LEA and trash them as he could care less. Ron would send them back and tell you to send them to the MSP.

George was pretty neutral when it came to gun owners. Ron showed his stripes in 2013. Blaster 229 said it all.

Bateman's wife apologized.

From Facebook:

The wife of Anne Arundel County Sheriff Ron Bateman, reached out to AAFA this afternoon with a statement she wished to share, regarding the domestic incident involving her husband at their Pasadena home last year. At trial, Mrs. Bateman refused to testify against her husband. Following the domestic incident in which Mrs. Bateman called 911 for assistance, she and Sheriff Bateman requested that media allow them to keep their privacy. Here is the letter we received in its entirety:

With Sincere Apologies from Elsie Bateman Page 1 of 2

I would like to take this opportunity, in my own words and with my own feelings, to make a few public apologies for my behavior back in April 2016.

My first and most important apology is to my husband, Ron Bateman, the love of my life and the only person who has been my rock through a tremendous amount of personal issues that I have been dealing with that involve my family. These are issues which I do not wish to discuss as they are very personal and involve children and other family members. I do wish to stress the fact that Ron has never, ever, touched me in a hurtful way ever. He is the most kind hearted person I have ever met and worships the ground that I walk on, which everyone can plainly see, and has always treated me and everyone with whom he comes in contact with, with the utmost respect and kindness. This man was trying to help me get through an extremely difficult time, as I was, and still am dealing with an abundance of extremely difficult issues, which had led me to drink a lot more than I should have. I was not thinking clearly at all that night (and many nights leading up to the night) that I came home in a very distraught mood and took all my pent up anger out on the only person that has been there for me, and for that I am truly very sorry. I cannot take back my actions from that night, but I can, and will be, the person that learns from my mistakes and will do everything I can to let Ron know just how very sorry I am for hurting him.

To my son, who witnessed my behavior and events of that night, as most children do, he did exactly what I told him to do and say. I put him in a very bad place that I can never take back and I am very sorry. I have spent my entire adult life trying to be a good role model and person for my children and teach them how to be good people, and I feel as though I let my husband and all of my children down and I am very sorry and I hope that one day they can all forgive me.

To the men and women of the Anne Arundel County Sheriff’s Office: First, I would like to give a very heartfelt apology to Colonel Rick Tabor, his wife and his children. I know what I did caused you and your family a lot of hurt and embarrassment and I want to say that I am truly sorry and I hope that one day you can forgive me. To the rest of the men and women of the Sheriff’s office, I know my actions caused a lot of embarrassment to everyone and for that I am truly very sorry.

To the Chief of Police Timothy Altomare and the men and woman of the AACO Police Department: I am sorry that my actions wasted the time, money, energy and resources that were put in to handling the outcome of my actions that night and the several days that followed. I have the greatest amount of respect for the work that you all do on a daily basis and I know you had more important calls that you could have been taking care of than having to be pulled away for my behavior and lies and actions and for that I am truly sorry.

Importantly, I sat down with the Director of the YWCA and had a one on one conversation, explaining my actions and offering my sincerely apologies to the TRUE victims, both Men and Women, of Domestic Violence. Domestic Violence toward anyone is not something that should be taken lightly or lied about and I am ashamed that I used that in a hurtful manner. I cannot stress just how very sorry I am to all of the men and women who have been touched in any part by domestic violence.

Lastly, I would like to apologize to the citizens of Anne Arundel County as a whole and a county that I am very thankful and proud to be a part of and love. I know my actions were terrible, immature and irresponsible and downright stupid, but once again I was not myself and I was at a point in my life that I really didn’t care about anything or anyone and I only have myself to blame. I have and will continue to take full and absolute responsibility for my actions.

People have said some very mean things to me and my family about my actions and as I expect it and do deserve it for myself, but my family does not and it hurts me that I put them all in this situation. With all of that being said, I have grown to be a better person because of it and will continue to make myself a better person for my husband and my children and my family.

I have come to terms with my actions of that night and days that followed and I have dealt with them in a professional setting with the help of my husband, family, friends and counseling and I will only be looking forward from this point on and not in the past.

I cannot take back what I have done, I can only learn from it and have made some very necessary changes for the better and look forward to a happy, healthy future with my husband, family and friends and will stop at nothing to make sure they all know just how truly very sorry I am from the bottom of my heart.

In life it is way too easy to hurt someone and cause harm to someone by words and/or actions, but it is not as easy to accept responsibility for those words and/or actions and step up and say you are sorry for them and ask for forgiveness. I am coming to you all today with many regrets for all the people that I have hurt with my words/actions and I am accepting full responsibility for them and I am asking each and every one of you to someday maybe, find it in your heart to forgive me.

Thank you for letting me take the time to personally address an issue that has been bothering me and something I have wanted to do for some time now, and that is to say I AM SORRY.

Elsie Bateman

My comment: Dear Mr & Mrs. Bateman, go away. LE agencies have enough problems without awful people like yourselves on a public payroll. Go away and take your pitiful lack of self control and ethics with you.

WTF!

He's no longer there.

I hadn't seen the last page of this now six month old thread. R&R and I ran into George Johnson at a Plaster fundraiser before the election. He is now the head of security for one of the medicinal marijuana companies.
