I’m so happy to see the new sheriff in the middle of this. He’s going to be great for Escambia County Alabama
They don’t do this EVERY week, how horrifying!
Results of shakedown doesn’t say much for the screening process of visitors. On the other hand – they are criminals who know criminals on the outside, criminal activity does not stop at the jailhouse doors.
There’s a new sheriff in town boys!
SO proud of Sheriff Heath Jackson! He’s already making an impact in our county. No doubt the right man for the job!! Great to see the brass actually in the trenches with these guys.
Way to go Sheriff Jackson. Keep up the good work.
I’m impressed, is that the new sheriff I see!!!!!
This proves to me LEO’s are doing a good job keeping contraband out of ECSO. According to the population, this is a very insignificant amount of contraband, compared to other shakedowns I’ve seen. Good job, and thanks for sharing with us.
This is the most dangerous place in the County. To be safe stay out of jail.
