Sheriff May Faces Discredit Run Fails In City Battle
Friends of Sheriff John A May, elected on prohibition and law enforcement pledges, held a meeting and formed a 45000 indemnity bond. The bond's listed outlay exceeds 1.5 million dollars, signed by city’s wealthiest figures. Charges of office irregularities were leveled by political foes, prompting a bonding company to investigate in Dothan and county records, finding no violations. May, already under a 5.00 bond for duty, faces potential harassment and costs, while accounts of alleged arrests without warrants and fines for liberty are cited, and signatures by some alleged to be negroes appeared in complaints. The bonding rep found no irregularities after review. Supporters blame political enemies for the actions as the sheriff’s round continues.
