You bet we support Vince,Chad and their staff. Hull and Horton try to get staff to be rats and give them info on Sheriffs office snd jail snd found out it wouldnt work!!!!! None of us will, or if one does we will freeze them out because 99.9% of us stand behind our bosses!!!!!
I do know for a fact that some of the stuff they tried on the Sheriff was bogus. Such as Buck saying he has a black belt and he was afraid of him. A friend gave him a picture of him and a deputy with the black belt magizine cover as background as a joke!! Also the hooters one that was suppose to be sexual harress ment and offended the woman deputy was the same thing with nothing sexual on it. She wouldnt be offened by this as shes in the guards and talks trash just like the rest of us and yes alot of it is of a sexual nature!! It all goes with the terratory and nothing is meant by it. For us who have been over seas we are comrades and all no it means nothing. And this deputy also knew as she joined in. So it was a set up. She was afaid of something that those people told her. Sattlers,Hull,Croymans and Kay. Probably shed get fired cause she was worried about that. I think some one from DCI should talk to her and bring a suit against those fools!!! Just my opinion.
Just a reminder. General election is only 100 days away and we need to get ALL registered to vote and vote for Vince again. Demo., Republican, native, white ! All of us need to continue to support our fine sheriff,Vince, Chad and the rest of the staff. Your vote does count and is important!
I want to say thank you sheriff for quick responce by your deputy Seaboy to my dilima, You have a great staff.
In response to this female deputy situation: Knock it off, I think she's very good at what she does, and that gives you absolutely no right to criticize what and what does not offend her. She is no longer there, and I do not blame her one bit for leaving!
In response to the last post, I don't blame her one bit for leaving either. I'm glad she did and I hope she's proud of the fact that she almost destroyed a man's reputation. If the things that she claimed "sexual harassment" for really and truly did offend her, then I KNOW that she's in the wrong line of work. I look at them all the time when I walk into my husband's office and I don't feel "offended" at all. If I thought my husband had anything degrading or offensive I'd be the first to take them down. If it was so bad for her, she had the choice to not go into the office. All of the deputies had laptops. I don't recall her ever going to my husband and saying I find these items offensive please remove them. Anyone who knows my husband knows that he would've done it. She did wrong, she knows she did and that is why she left the Sheriff's Office w/ her tail between her legs. Brooke Owen
You just have to love Vince and Brooke. They generally don't say much but when they do it is factual, to the point and sign their names to their comments.Just too bad we don't have more county officials with such sincerety and honesty in dealing with the people who elected them.
You go Brooke!!!!!!
To Brooke:
I'm the person you are responding to, and just because something doesn't offend you doesn't mean it doesn't offend other people. I work in a very predominately male workplace (only female there!) and I have yet to have someone step over the line, but some people have different beliefs than others.
My biggest question is this: What went on with the other female deputy?
Absolutly nothing!!!! If you had questions why didnt you go to a meeting and ask? You're stuck in the past. Its over all proven nothing was ever done by Sheriff.
Like I've stated before, if the pictures that Vincent had really and truly did offend her then she's in the wrong line of work. They were picking at anything to try and get rid of my husband and THEY all know this.
As far as the other deputy, NOTHING went on. Yes, I've heard the "rumor" that she and Vincent were having an "affair" and that's why he fought so hard to keep her. I know the reasoning behind it and I know that nothing went on between my husband and the other deputy. I don't think people give me that much credit to think that I would stand by and continue to stand by my husband if I thought otherwise. So I'm sorry to say all of the drama that was supposed to be out there regarding the issue, really isn't. Brooke Owen
Speaking for myself, I never had any doubts about Vince's character. This drama smelled from the very beginning, smelled like a dirty plan by the "gang" to get another native out of office and one of their "boys" into place again.
They must think the people of this county are idiots and they are the only true intellectuals?
Hang in there Vince! We believe in you!!
AMEN!!!!! To Administrators post.
Its been along time since we have had our Sheriffs office ran professionally like it is now. I'm sure the poster going back to the dirty tactics that were used on Sheriff Owen is one of the gang or one of their flunkys!!!!!! 99.9% of us in the county really appeciate our Sheriff and staff so you small minded evil ones are out numbered.
well, I know it is water under the bridge but it keeps flowing buck under. So with that, I will say this, I never denied anything the Hi-powered attorney asked me concerning the sexual harr. I had nothing to hide. When it was all said and done, there was not sexual harr. ther. If she was so upset, why would she tell me I was the best boss she ever had???? you figure it out.
When it comes to the other deputy, I fought for her because I knew the reason why they were attacking her. I felt that was wrong. So, people who do not know what it means to be loyal have to put a spin on the why so they can try to understand something they do not have.
I have a great family life, ask anyone who knows us. with that, I will no longer comment on the old issues, I have knew ones to deal with.

Does anybody remember that movie made in the 70's "Walking Tall"? The situation here in Roberts Co looks an awful lot like that, but not as extreme. Sheriff Owen you "Walk Tall" in my books.
Very well put. Sheriff Owen is a stand up and honest man, thats why we're so proud to call him our Sheriff!!!!! And he does walk tall no matter the situation he has shown that.
Dirty tactics? Flunkies? Puh-leeze!As far as Croymans goes, he was kind of stuck-up and Kay? HAH! I am merely a Sisseton citizen wanting some answers to some tough questions... If I pulled some of the things that female deputy did, I would have my ass canned in a heartbeat! Vince, why did you defend her? "Professionalism" is a word that's being thrown about here a little too often, but... COME ON! I know for a fact some of those things that she did were VERY UN-professional!
Everybody needs to see beyond what's right in front of them. I would've stuck up for the female deputy too. The commissioners and certain citizens of the County need to realize that the only person who can hire or fire anybody is the Sheriff. What people need to realize is that the Commissioners had tried to fire her and eliminate her position to get rid of her. True she didn't use her best judgment and she didn't lie about the situation to benefit her. The situation had been dealt with but it wasn't good enough. If that was wrong to defend her and to defend the way the Sheriff had handled it then maybe he isn't the right person for the job. I guess I do want a Sheriff who's going to jump when the Commissioners say how high and I guess I do want a Sheriff who's not willing to stand by his employees when they're constantly being attacked. You're right professionalism is a word that's been thrown about too much and if you can find someone who is more professional that Sheriff Owen, tell them to run. It's the BEST job in the county!!!
You said it. Most appreciated job in the county. NOT !!!! Sheriff has been slandered,demean by the 3 racist commissioners and they tried to bribe him. Hes still here. That shows integrety and professionalism. I for one am very proud of him and standing up for your employees after you have reprimanded them and give them their "punishment" against people who think they are all powerful is integrety. Its time someone stood up to the power hungrys in this co. and don't roll over and be their BOY. We are very lucky to have Vince Owen and we as a whole in this co not counting the 2% naysayers Sattlers,Hull,Buck, Horton and their few idiot followers want him to stay along time. Hes making a difference and Change is needed bad here.
Vince and Chad need our continued support. The election results should show our CC that these are the people we want and that they are doing a great job despite the pressures and aggravation the commissioners dish out on a regular basis. And if it takes a law suit or two to get their attention so be it. Everyone in Pierre knows Roberts Co. and just how stupid our CC are acting. We are the "joke" county of the state again!!
I would like to say, thanks for the comments, the good and the bad. If people dont ask, they will never know the real answer. I would like to also say, I am very proud of the staff I have. They did well with the transition into the new jail. Sometimes I feel bad for talking chad into taking this job, but without him this would be a tougher ordeal.
vince
99% stand with you and Chad Vince. We are very proud to call you our Sheriff and appreiate your staff. You and Chad have shown what good,honest men you are by not being the commiss "boys" and fighting for what is right for the county. Keep up the great work.
