One more reason not to trust Cops.
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli’s office has authorized the State Police to conduct an investigation into the role a convicted felon played in the Isle of Wight County Sheriff’s Office.
Isle of Wight Commonwealth’s Attorney Wayne Farmer said Tuesday that the investigation into the department “as it relates to†the Jonathan Burns matter was authorized about a week ago.
Burns, a four-time convicted felon, worked for the sheriff’s office as a volunteer aide, but apparently carried a Taser, wore a uniform and badge and even participated in some arrests. After serving as a volunteer, Burns was hired in March in a support capacity, but has since been terminated.
