It's been a long road for Tony Logan, former Florence Deputy Police Chief and current chief of the Tuscumbia Police Department. Who's to blame? No one but Logan himself. Chief Logan has never denied guilt relating to his December 2009 DUI arrest, but has instead danced around the legal system chanting nebulous laws, persecution, and other various possible loopholes.
What will happen if a Gadsden jury finds Logan guilty as charged? At best Logan will have been out a lot of money for nothing, and at worst he may again be suspended from his job. No one has ever accused Logan of not being a great police officer. Everyone makes mistakes. The difference in Logan's case is he has chosen to evade punishment for his shortcomings and consequently cost the taxpayers of Lauderdale County thousands of dollars in doing so.

Guilty! Now what happens?
ReplyDeleteIt's sad. One time years ago I drank one drink too many (3). Because my friend bought me the third drink near closing time at the restaurant, and I didn't want to hurt her feelings. Well the 3rd drink kicked in on the way home, and I found that I was too drunk to stop at red lights and stop signs. I prayed and asked that if I was able to get home safely, that I would never do this again. Soon my fright sobered me enough to drive home; and I have never had more than one drink again. That was 30 years ago. But I could have easily found myself in the same situation. Sometimes, I can not handle even one drink, and have to stop halfway through the drink, because I am feeling it too much to drive home. Most times I do not drink at all, even if I am around the corner from home. It's too easy to get into trouble, it doesn't take much to get drunk. Just not worth it.
