Twaddle's death hints at work pressure on probation officer
Bob Twaddle, a Missouri born probation officer who moved to Aiken two years ago, died of a heart attack July 20 after toiling on night shifts and grappling with heavy paperwork. Friends argue job stress may have contributed, noting reduced supervision by state officials and a culture of long hours and bureaucratic friction. A letter from ex-officer Ed Kaney praises Twaddle’s dedication, integrity, and ability to bridge trust between law enforcers and offenders, while lamenting peers who failed to support his family upon his passing.
