In the Houston-area 22nd Congressional District, Republican candidate Troy Nehls, a career cop with a checkered past, has run on a “law and order” theme touting his law enforcement record as the primary reason why voters should send him to Washington. In fact, Nehls’ Facebook page sports a video calling him the “people’s sheriff.”
Let’s briefly examine the Fort Bend County “people’s sheriff’s” personal record.
In 1988, the people’s sheriff was arrested for “underage drinking” and “obstructing” the police trying to make his arrest. If that was the end of the story, one could, and probably should, excused the antics of a young man learning to become socially responsible. Most people would have taken that early life encounter with law enforcement as an opportunity to learn to respect the rules and live an honest, law-abiding life. Not so with the “people’s sheriff.” He would later lie about his arrest later when he applied for a job with the Ford Bend ISD Police Department, signing a form saying he’d never been arrested or charged with a crime.
Nearly ten years later, after military service, Troy Nehls decided he wanted a career as a Republican-driven law enforcement officer. He got a job with the Richmond Police Department. It did not go well. The people’s sheriff’s penchant for flaunting the rules, obstructing justice, and reckless behavior forced Chief of Police Bill Whitworth to terminate Nehls’ employment with his department. Chief Whitworth offered this staggering list of reasons for the termination: [lots more, cuz he's a peach]
When I went to add his name to the bookmark file, I was surprised to find Nehls was already there.
This is Troy Nehls, who McCarthy wants to put on the January 6th Commission
