Sheriff Smith Announces Housecleaning Across Collin County Jail
McKinney Courier-Gazette reports Collin County Sheriff George Smith of Plano says he is cleansing the department after finishing an internal probe into alleged misconduct. Investigations touched on prostitution involving prisoners, improper sex conduct by trustees, missing money and liquor from storage, and deputies drinking on duty. Smith cites staff shortages, trustee usage, and a pending personnel boost as factors while noting some charges remain under inquiry. Chief deputy Lawrence Selman has resigned effective Jan 1 amid policy disputes. Smith warns further actions will come with continued investigations this week.
