McKown was Railroaded

As a citizen of York County I feel compelled to respond to the letter from Cynthia Gross "McKown was railroaded", in yesterdays voice of the people section. Since she does not live in York County she is either a good friend of Doug McKown or is going by only what she has read and seen on TV to justify her statements.

I am not sure what evidence she feels was fabricated. There was illegal drugs found in his home. Not just the Viagra but Cocaine also. The charges brought against him that were based on drug users and dealers were the same drug users and dealers he associated himself with. One of which was a live in girlfriend. Has Cynthia ever heard of "Guilt by association"? I for one don't want an elected government official in my county associating with criminals.

As far as Mr. McKown never seen doing anything wrong. Did you not see the videotape on TV with him in it while his girlfriend sold the illegal drugs? Which by the way was being taped by a undercover law enforcement officer not a drug dealer. If you think for one minute he had no knowledge of what was taking place you are so wrong. If you lived in York County you would know that he is not a local do-gooder. You would also know that he is well known for this type of activity.

My husband is a Sheriff Deputy for York County and I for one am very happy with the way the law enforcement represents the people of York County. It is a good thing Cynthia does not live in York County since she has no respect for our law enforcement community!!!
