Augusta Deputy Meeks Fired for Conduct Unbecoming Officer
Augusta County Deputy Edward Meeks, once lauded as an outstanding officer in 1971, was fired Friday for conduct unbecoming an officer. The dismissal followed allegations he worked as a private security guard at Augusta Expo while on duty, creating repeated conflicts of interest over the past year. The case, suspended earlier, will go to the commonwealth attorney to determine possible criminal charges. Expo president Thomas Althizer said he did not know Meeks was on duty as security, noting Meeks earned seven dollars an hour there, while his county salary was ten thousand one hundred four dollars annually. Meeks had served since July 1, 1971 after stints with Staunton police and had received multiple meritorious awards.
