THAT IS THE SAME ALONG WOODWARD
AVENUE TONIGHT WITH THE NIGHT
CAMP TIM PAMPLIN. LOCAL 4 ALL
RIGHT, TIM. THE RACE FOR WAYNE
COUNTY SHERIFF IS HEATING UP
WITH ALLEGATIONS OF SOME DIRTY
POLITICS. AND TODAY A JUDGE
AGREED, SHUTTING DOWN A CAMPAIGN
MAILER TAKING AIM AT CURRENT
SHERIFF RAPHAEL WASHINGTON
JASON COLTHORPE. IS THAT THE
SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT TONIGHT
HAVING SPOKEN TO BOTH MEN IN
THIS RACE, JASON GOOD EVENING,
DEVIN AND THE JUDGE IN THIS THE
CHIEF JUDGE OF THE WAYNE
COUNTY’S THIRD CIRCUIT HEARD
THIS CASE TODAY MADE THE RULING
AND IT’S IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT
THE RULING HE MADE WAS BASED ON
HIS BELIEF THAT THIS VIOLATED
CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS. NOT MADE
ON THE MERIT OF THE ACCUSATIONS
THAT WERE ON THAT MAILER. THE
MUD SLINGING IS OVER. FOR THE
MOMENT IN THE WAYNE COUNTY
SHERIFF’S RACE, AT LEAST SOME OF
IT ANYWAY. A LAWSUIT WAS FILED
IN A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER
GRANTED AGAINST WALTER EPS, A
CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF. AND
MESSENGER PRINTING SERVICE TO
STOP THESE MAILERS FROM GOING
OUT. THEY ARE FILLED WITH
HEADLINES ABOUT INVESTIGATIONS
INTO ALLEGED MISCONDUCT AND AT
THE BOTTOM, IT READS VOTE NO TO
SEXUAL HARASSMENT. FIRE. RAPHAEL
WASHINGTON WHEN YOU FIRST SAW
THIS KIND OF POP UP WHAT WAS
YOUR REACTION WAS LIKE, WOW,
THIS IS HOW CAMPAIGN GOES, I
GUESS, HUH? DIRTY POLITICS.
SHERIFF WASHINGTON IS NEW TO THE
CAMPAIGN GAME, HAVING BEEN
APPOINTED TO THE JOB AFTER
SHERIFF BENNY NAPOLEON DIED IN
2020. THE CITIZENS OF WAYNE
COUNTY. CAN’T BE FOOLED. THEY
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE, AND HERE WE
ARE FROM A JUDGE’S RULING,
SAYING IT WAS IMPROPER. IT WAS
ILLEGAL. HOW RAY WANTS TO GET IN
THAT POSITION IN THE FIRST PLACE
IS JUST UM, IT’S ANYBODY’S
GUESS, RIGHT. WHAT WE KNOW IS
WHO YOU KNOW WALTER EPPS, WHO
PREVIOUSLY RAN FOR SHERIFF ONCE
IN 2010 SAYS HIS CAMPAIGN IS NOT
BEHIND THE MAILER, BUT HE
ABSOLUTELY SUPPORTS IT. HE DOES
NOT WANT TO PULL IT. PUBLIC TO
HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS
BACKGROUND WHICH IS ALL TRUE.
THESE ARE REAL REPORTS AND I
HAVE COPIES OF THE REPORTS
REPORTS REAL INCIDENTS, REAL
VICTIMS, AND THAT’S WHAT HE’S
TRYING TO HOLD. HE DOES NOT WANT
THAT INFORMATION TO GET OUT. NOW
THE SHERIFF DIDN’T WANT TO TALK
DIRECTLY ABOUT THOSE ALLEGATIONS
, INSTEAD POINTING US TO A
STATEMENT HIS CAMPAIGN HAS GIVEN
OUT IN THE PAST, AND IT READS.
THE CAMPAIGN DOES NOT RESPOND TO
RUMOR AND INNUENDO THAT’S TOSSED
ABOUT IN A HEATED CAMPAIGN
SEASON, PARTICULARLY AFTER
THEY’VE BEEN INVESTIGATED BY
IMPARTIAL PARTIES AS FAR BACK AS
TWO DECADES AGO. CONCLUDING
THERE WAS NEVER ANY CAUSE FOR
ANY ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN. DEVIN
JASON DID SHERIFF WASHINGTON OR
HIS CAMPAIGN FILED A LAWSUIT.
ACTUALLY NO, IT WAS A PRIVATE
CITIZEN WAS ROBERT DAVIS. WHO
IS? OH YES, YES, OVER THE YEARS,
FILES FILES A LOT OF LAWSUITS IN
THIS REGARD, BUT HE TOLD ME
TONIGHT THAT HE WASN’T FILING
THIS ON BEHALF OF THE CAMPAIGN,
BUT HE WAS JUST BEING A PRIVATE
CITIZEN WHO SUPPORTS RAY
