Move Along, Nothing Here To See

Odds are that the recent decision by Judge Peter Arnold against former Laramie County Deputy Sheriff Sean Ringrose will be overturned at the Wyoming Supreme Court level. Judge Arnold has a long history of making the wrong decisions. This case will no doubt add to that history.

The judge wrote that "Ringrose displayed unsatisfactory work performance in not preventing Edwards from leaving the scene after the fight and .........."

Let's see judge, what is needed to keep someone from leaving a scene after a fight. Obviously the deputies there looked into/investigated the fight as no citations were issued or arrests made. So there was not any reason to keep Edwards at the scene for investigative purposes. Edwards was not arrested as the deputies would need probable cause (remember these two words judge, they may help you make the right decisions in the future) to arrest or detain Edwards any further. So Edwards, like any citizen not under arrest or investigative detention, was allowed to freely leave.

Ddg believes that Judge Arnold is just another ignorant political hack. Unfortunately he sits in a position that allows him almost unlimited power while he makes politically correct decisions. After all judge, could longshanks be wrong? Better to err on the side of the elected officials than to upset the local political apple cart, isn't it? Could that be why Judge Fenn reached a different decision in the same case with former Laramie County Deputy Sheriff Cook?

Sooner or later, the voters of Laramie County will decide that glick has been here too long. How many other deputies will be thrown under the bus by then? Too bad it will be a few years before longshanks comes up for another vote.

  1. Word has it that Cook got hired by Albany County. It's nice to know that longshanks tentacles couldn't reach that far. Good luck Cook.

  2. Cook beat Glick. Unfortunatly, Sean's attorney screwed him and changed their stance and told him that even if he won he wouldn't get his money back and told him he needed an extra $5000 to appeal. Maybe Gay and Glick are in bed together. Look at his wife, he'll do anything.

  3. Come on, really. You have to question if COUNTY COMMISSIONER GAY WOODHOUSE and LARAMIE COUNTY SHERIFF DANNY GLICK are "in bed together". They are both elected officials. What is the first priority of an elected official? Get reelected. Gay wouldn't do anything to risk Danny's chance at reelection. And don't even think about saying that her "firm" represented Ringrose but she had nothing to do with it. Gay made sure that Ringrose lost his case. I feel sorry for Sean. He took it in the shorts twice by the county.
