White’s attorney cites political rift in sheriff case
Jackson County defense attorney Charles Grace framed the sheriff’s indictment as born from a party rift. He argued Don White was never told to move quarters, quit leftovers, or halt county gasoline use, and that county action followed an ignored 1978 board decision. Grace tied the charges to ongoing party conflicts and noted White lived in the courthouse and used his car for on call county business amid disputed living arrangements.
