I'm sure he is. Probably doesn't have any actionable intelligence on the shooter, so he's not just "shooting from the hip" by giving daily press conferences speculating about things he has no actual evidence or knowledge of.
I wasn't impugning your sheriff, just lampooning the miserable, negligent way that the press and local police handled the Beltway snipers situation back in '02. I should have used the "sarc" tag.
He’s an Andy Taylor type, if you are that old.
We had a spring snow last week which is real odd for our area. It was about 2 inches.
He put out a bulletin:
“Category 1 Spring Driving Warning: Anyone found riding lawn mowers or tilling gardens will not be arrested or towed but brought in for mental testing”
