A belated Thank You

and a career well spent to recently retired Deputy Sheriff Billy Swearingin, Charlie 21.

It seemed like an April Fool's Day joke, but that was the last working day for one of the longest serving (and probably the hardest working) deputy left on the street for Laramie County.

Deputy Swearingin was well known for the casework that he did over the years. If anyone was going to get the off the wall case, it was him. The call would not come in as anything special, but when "Big Top Billy" got done with it, it was a three ring circus. It makes sense when you look at the clowns that he has been working for.

The old story about having his patrol car stolen while he was working, Well yes, but he got it back along with an arrest.
Did he ever threaten to drag someone out a wing window of a car? Only once.
Was he the person that you could trust with your life? Definitely!

Enjoy your well earned retirement. Don't worry about us left here in hell. That too will pass, sooner (but not soon enough) or later.
