County Administrator in Court! This Monday – Criminal Charges Pending.

We understand that the individual appointed by the current Board of Supervisors as the highest ranking official in Tunica County, the person responsible for the day to day operation of Tunica County’s government, the individual who represents all of us when meeting with Federal and State officials, the individual who represents all of us when meeting with executives of companies who are considering bring jobs and an increased tax base to Tunica County, and most importantly, the individual who should respond to the citizens of Tunica County with respect and dignity, WILL BE IN COURT on Monday, November 2, 2015 at 9:30 a.m. in the Town of Tunica. 

A charge of disturbing the peace has been filed against the County Administrator by the County’s Comptroller.  As outlined in the sworn affidavit, yelling indecent and offensive words as well as a physical threat were involved.  We understand this all came shortly after the county’s outside auditing team held a meeting with the County Administrator to discuss the audit.  Was there something that happened as part of the meeting with the outside auditors that caused the County Administrator to lose his cool? 

Yelling, profanity, threats . . . . Are the qualities of a leader?  Do the employees of Tunica County deserve to be treated like this?  We believe every employee should be treated with dignity and respect.  Why does the current Board of Supervisors tolerate this type of behavior by the County Administrator?

No audit.  Profanity and physical threats when the audit is discussed.  What is there that someone, seemly the County Administrator and at least three current supervisors, does not want the public to know? 

We recommend anyone who has time attend City Court and hear the sworn testimony for themselves.  Don’t rely on us or anyone else – get it firsthand.  You have this right – Court is open to the public.  Certainly, the members of the Board of Supervisors should attend Court to hear how their County Administrator runs his office.
