A convicted felon stole a deputy’s cruiser and caused a fatal accident Thursday, claiming her life and the lives of two innocent people and critically injuring a third.
During a press conference on Friday, Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods was as direct with media outlets as a sheriff could be.
Responding to a reporter about department policy, Sheriff Woods said, “I had a feeling you all were gonna push my buttons, that means shit. That doesn’t play a factor in anything. This moron stole a police vehicle and killed two human beings.”
