Personal Revenge Turkelson Calls Sheriff’s Grand Jury Bid Unconsciable
Prosecutor Morris Turkelson condemned Warren County Sheriff Roy Wallace for seeking a grand jury into alleged misdeeds by Turkelson as an uncons cionable attempt to use the criminal justice system for personal revenge. Turkelson asks Warren County Common Pleas Judge William Young to dismiss the motion, arguing lack of jurisdiction and vendetta. The sheriff’s filing lists nine alleged criminal acts and other misdeeds, while Turkelson notes prior audits and asserts statutory limits on sheriff authority. Two women charged with possession of rain did not relate to the charges Turkelson cites, and Turkelson attached documents showing a heroin case with informants.
