“My stress level was so high that I was afraid of having a heart attack,” said Aileen Maddox, who now works and lives in Ohio.
She served as the sheriff’s office chaplain for 13 years.
Maddox told Channel 9′s Jonathan Lowe about the source of her stress.
“The sheriff and the way that he ran the agency,” Maddox said. “Not only what happened to me as the chaplain, but as the person who heard from those affected.”
She quit in February.
“When he came into office, we wanted him there,” she said. “When he got there, I kept waiting for this great day that has not come.”
On Monday, Channel 9′s Evan Donovan spoke one-on-one with former Chief Deputy Kevin Canty who shared a list of complaints about the sheriff’s leadership.
