I heard about this yesterday. At first I thought it was some kind of joke but I see it is not. These small town sheriffs are the worst. Look at that Sharif Arpaio in Arizona who just got put in jail. Plus Missouri is where the whole Mike Brown thing happened. I have some family about to drive from Chicago to Houston. I’m going to tell them to avoid driving through Missouri if it is possible.

As per the River Front Times (RFT): April 2017

“Sheriff Cory Hutcheson Vowed to Clean Up His Rural Missouri County. Now He’s the One Facing Prison”

Excerpts:
{Tony Sanders} death comes AFTER several high-profile incidents at the jail, which holds 110 people — and its top official’s criminal indictment on unrelated charges. That official, Mississippi County Sheriff Cory Hutcheson, remains in charge of the jail even though he is currently facing eighteen counts in two criminal cases brought by the state attorney general.

Hutcheson alleges that Sanders hurt a half-dozen officers on Friday before they could get him under control.

Hutcheson, who was the subject of an RFT cover story last month, is one of seven defendants named in a lawsuit filed after the death of another inmate in 2015. Somer Nunnally {white female}, age 21, died of a drug overdose as jailers laughed at her, according to the suit. […]

DJ, thanks for posting about this. I had caught a glimpse of the story the other day – and meant to research the details – but for some reason never got around to checking into it further.

What a sad *state* of affairs (pun intended). Hard to believe that, in 2017, WE are still having to fight some of the same OLD horrific battles. Still having to fight for Our lives.

And regarding the death of Tony Sanders:

There’s a related story concerning the young sheriff of the jail where Tony was taken, “in the small southeast Missouri town of Charleston, the county seat of Mississippi County.” And suffice it to say – the story is a bit of a doozy..
