Jackson County, Georgia – A shocking revelation has disrupted the race for the next sheriff in Jackson County after a hidden camera caught one of the candidates snooping around his opponent’s office. The incident has cost Captain Dale Dillow his county job and has left the community questioning the integrity of the upcoming election.
The controversy began when Kevin McCook, head of training and community outreach, started suspecting that someone was entering his locked office without permission. He noticed that items on his desk were being moved and decided to take action. McCook approached Sheriff Janis Mangum with his concerns, and she suggested that he install a hidden camera to catch the culprit.
McCook purchased a motion-activated camera with his own money and discreetly placed it in the corner of his office. He patiently waited for almost a month before the camera finally recorded Dillow entering the office with a master key. The footage showed Dillow taking a picture of McCook’s desk calendar with his work cell phone and rummaging through one of the desk drawers. It was a shocking revelation for McCook, who felt betrayed by his rival in the sheriff’s race.
When McCook confronted Dillow about the incident, Dillow apologized and claimed that he was only trying to understand why McCook spent so much time outside the office. However, McCook was not convinced and felt that Dillow’s actions were politically motivated. Dillow admitted that he never brought his concerns to the sheriff or McCook’s supervisor and insisted that he only entered McCook’s office one other time, a claim that McCook disputed.
Once Sheriff Mangum received the results of an external investigation, she made the difficult decision to terminate Dillow’s employment. She felt that she could no longer trust him and believed that his actions were unacceptable, regardless of the ongoing election.
Dillow apologized privately to Sheriff Mangum, but he has not addressed the controversy on his campaign Facebook page. As of now, he remains in the race to be the next Jackson County sheriff, leaving the community divided and unsure of who they can trust to lead their law enforcement agency.
