Sheriff Chuck Wright told reporters that deputies picked up a man wanted on a murder charge in North Carolina. He said he was found with an AK-47 on him.

"This weapon right here, it's a killing machine pretty much," the sheriff said as he pointed to the weapon.

What a dumbass.

I guess this dragnet makes up for the good sheriff's unauthorized $1.3 million expenditure on repair of his cruiser fleet over the last three years. I guess the rules of bidding and procurement does not apply to those in authority. To add insult, the county has its own repair facility. Finally, the lead agencies in this enforcement sweep were the SC State Police and SC Law Enforcement Division (SLED), not the sheriff's office. Still is good to get the vermin off of the street.
