Im not sure what to think anymore. Several LEO have been arrested since Morgan took office. In some way, shape or form they have all been on Tv or in the paper. Putting a name and face out there in the public like that is a way of saying GUILTY. Regardless if the charges have any substance. ?Makes you wonder…. doesnt Law Enforcement in Escambia County have real crimes to procesicute? I mean, drug dealer selling to kids, bank robbers, sexual offenders, murders or homicides? They are still occurring right? I dont see their picture on the news or in the paper in big BOLD print. Also, FDLE works with the ECSO…. why are they saying FDLE investigation… FDLE is gonna take time out of the MAJOR crimes to investigate a local guy with 2 misdemeanors? I dont buy it. Sounds like politics to me. I dont trust the powers that be in Morgans camp. They are all shady, they just know how to play stupid. Grice was a Nesby follower, then a Morgan follower….Key word FOLLOWER… Im thinking he mustve pissed someone off. Regardless… he is now labeled. If he is innocent or guilty. I just hate to see my tax dollars being wasted on these petty charges… when we got guns in the hands of kids and drugs in schools! I believe Morgan and the whole lot of them should go… now! Just my opinion.

It amazes me that when most people are charged with a crime the details are printed in the News Journal and reported on channel 3. Not so with Roger Grice. There have been small blurbs on both, not the detailed reporting anyone else could expect. Just who made the decision to shield Roger Grice from public scrutiny? Give us the facts! This website has more details than either channel 3 or the newspaper. Keep up the good work.

Roger is a good man! I’ve known him for 31 years.. Innocent until proven guilty and I know he’s innocent…

In response to Molino Mom:
It IS public record, what lead you to believe that it isn’t?

If the deputy has already been charged, why isn’t this part of public records?
Doesn’t matter the outcome.
Just sayin’ ..

Please remember—-this is something that was NOT JOB RELATED. Also he was charged, give the courts time to find out what happen and if he is even guilty. It’s like when a person is charged by a grand jury, all they hear is one side of what happen (just the states case) and when it goes to court there is no truth in the case and it costs the person who is charged the cost for a lawyer. If guilty do what needs to be done—- if not guilty how many will post anything on here. I recall the music teacher who was arrested for touching a young girl. She later admitted she had lied so she could be moved to another school where her friends were. Commenter wanted him hanged, after the fact all most no one had any thing to say.

I was asked to give details but only thing I can say is State Attorney had FDLE investigate case not ECSO internal affairs. And as you know plea deals are made and Grice will be allowed to retire. My statements are as a taxpayer I feel the deputies in this county are great but need leadership. They are human and human nature dictates someone giving them direction which I feel is lacking with the current administration. They should be proactive not reactive in fighting crime as they seem to be now. Military veterans know that how your troops act is a direct result of leadership. I feel that the resources I and other tax payers pay for are not being utilized to get the best bang for the buck. Buildings that cost millions instead of renting at a far less cost , collecting garbage not fighting crime , not having enough detectives to solve our property crimes and not strongly fighting the gang/drug issues. The Sheriff himself at a town hall meeting said the gang issue is at an acceptable level in Esc County. What level of criminal activity is acceptable? Ask yourself as a citizen of this county if you feel safe right now , I don’t. If you ran a business and an employee did not do a good job you would replace that person for one you felt could do the Job. The Sheriff works for the citizens of this once great county. I just feel it needs to be run by a certified law enforcement officer (Morgan is not) that has experience in running law enforcement agencies (Morgan had none before being elected). Check all the other counties in this State and see who they have running those departments , Certified Law Enforcement Officers. But I feel the citizens in this county will choose in August and the county will once again start fighting crime with a new Sheriff. God Blees all.

WOW , it amazes me that there has been several deputies getting arrested in the last few weeks. and those few are making it hard to trust our other deputies out there that are trying to protect us . i think there should be deeper investigations on who gets hired into our police depts. you have some that are in to child pornography, fraud, assault, dui, etc. i respect some police officers that are out there making a living for there family and risking there lives but others are just there. thank you for the ones that do their jobs and not getting in to trouble.

Yeah this is misdemeanor counts of fraud, not felony fraud like with the cancer scam and those people are getting off with hardly anything. So misdemeanor fraud… I doubt he’ll have to do anything, other than push some papers for a few weeks.

1. The Sheriff is not to blame for someone else’s actions.
2. The person charged should not be publicly assumed guilty until we know what it was he did.
3. I am quite sure other officers have been in trouble under other sheriff’s administrations, so let’s not say “it is all Sheriff Morgan’s fault”!
