The Brookneal police officer that was charged with an misdemeanor has been exonerated and all charges were dropped. The two men that testified against him had stories that didn't match and the judge deemed them " not credible".
Are we surprised? Can't say that I am. A four time convicted felon files a false report against an officer and it ends up getting thrown out.
News-Advance: Officer Cleared/
WSET: Officer charges overturned/
Are we surprised at all the hassle the town has given the officer? Can't say that I am. The "acting as a town manager" had no business handling this situation from the beginning and now a man's life has been on hold for months because of his ineptness.
The "personnel committee" the town has might as well be wearing dunce caps and rings in their noses because of the way they let the Mayor and "acting as a town manager" lead them around. They had the chance to do the right thing and they turned yellow. Now they've been proven wrong and will have to try to undo the damage they've done.
I wonder if they like their crow fried or boiled?

The update is much appreciated. Looks like the officer now has a really good case against the people that caused him so much trouble.
Has he been put back on regular duty?
Can't say that I'm surprised either. This has been the method that has been used to persecute people since this administration took office.
Makes me miss Ronnie Cox.
I wonder who they'll go after next?
Looks like the officer still isn't bak at work. Perhaps the public needs to speak up and tell the council we want the protection our taxes are paying for.
Maybe a petition would do some good. There are several sites online where you can create and print petitions.
"We the people of Brookneal demand that police officer Earhart be put back on duty immediately"
Do you think that would work?
