For 20 years, I worked in Troup and the surrounding counties as a peace officer. Throughout my career, I worked to protect my community, help people through difficult moments, and give back whenever I could. Serving others was not just my profession — it was my purpose. Today, I am asking for help because I have been wrongly accused, and those allegations have cost me my career, my housing, and my financial stability. I am now fighting for the opportunity to defend my name and prove my innocence through lawful means.

If you have ever met me or known me personally, you know that what has been alleged is not my character and does not reflect who I am or how I have lived my life. Anyone who truly knows me understands that I could not do what has been claimed. It is also important to say this with respect and compassion: the "victim" was not the original caller or complainant and did not wish to press charges. I believe this situation has been difficult for her as well, and I sincerely wish no harm or hardship on anyone involved.

This situation has deeply affected my family. These have been extremely difficult times for all of us. I am not asking anyone to judge or take sides. I am simply asking for a fair chance. As a result of this situation, I am facing legal expenses necessary to protect my rights and reputation, loss of income and employment opportunities, and housing and basic living costs while I rebuild. For more than two decades, I stood beside the people of this community during some of their hardest moments. I helped when they needed help, listened when they needed someone to listen, and served with integrity. Now, I am humbly asking those I served—and anyone who believes in fairness and due process—to help me receive a fair opportunity to defend myself and rebuild my life.

Thank you for reading my story. I would greatly appreciate anything you could spare. Your support means more than words can express.
