SC sheriffs notice colleagues behaving badly
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — When Greenville County Sheriff Steve Loftis took the podium at this summer's meeting of sheriffs from across the state, he knew he had to say something about acting with integrity, honesty and good character.
After all, he was the second choice to be the newest president of the South Carolina Sheriff's Association. That was after the original choice, former Saluda County Sheriff Jason Booth, was indicted for misconduct. And Booth was just the latest of a half-dozen sheriffs who have found themselves in legal trouble or admitting to a serious moral failing in just over two years.
"Out of 46 sheriffs, the majority of them are doing an outstanding job. But the way I look at things, law enforcement officers should be held to a higher standard, especially if you are an elected sheriff," Loftis said this week.
Chavis Carter Case: Police Release Dash Cam Video From Night Handcuffed Man Died
The Jonesboro Police Department in Arkansas has released dash cam video from the night that 21-year-old Chavis Carter died while handcuffed in the back of a police car, ABC News reports.
The video does not, however, show Carter in the back of the police vehicle where cops allegedly claim the handcuffed man took out a gun and shot himself in the head on July 29. As NewsOne previously reported, Jonesboro police say the cars were parked trunk to truck, making it impossible for the dash cam video to capture Carter’s movements.

LAGUNA WOODS, Calif. — An 83-year-old man has been convicted in the beating death of his 94-year-old roommate at a California health care facility, an attack prosecutors say was triggered by the older man's singing.

McDougall and Manh Van Nguyen were both recovering from hip surgery at Palm Terrace Healthcare Center in Laguna Woods on Oct. 1, 2010.
