It is nice to know that the Jefferson County Sheriff’s department investigated deaths and goes after the person or person involved. Maybe Walker County should take some notes from you guys then maybe they could do their job right. Just asking but if you had a case where a man was shot over a game and his ex brother -in-law was the one that shot him. Would it take you about four days to get the warrent and then a week has gone by and nothing???? This is just sad and justice is not being served. I think that it is wrong and the the head of the Walker County office should be fired. I mean if Mr. Tirye can not do his job then he does not need to be there.
