Greenbrier sheriff says equipment dispute is political
Greenbrier County Sheriff Albert Lindsey insists the prosecutor is targeting him for political reasons as he argues that municipal officers may use disputed drug fighting gear. Lindsey cites unexplained task force expenses and says the equipment remains unused after his 1996 campaign clash with Prosecutor Mark Burnette. Capt. David Plantz cautioned that device ownership depends on funding source, with forfeiture money remaining with the sheriff or grant money returning to funders.
