SHERIFF WARNS COMMISSIONER
Powell Changes Mind
On Bodyguard Needs
Harry Powell, Chattooga
County commissioner, has ap
parently changed his mind
about wanting Chattooga
Sheriff Gary McConnell to pro
vide him with a bodyguard.
Powell has also been warn
ed by the sheriff about taking
the law in his own hands and {
criticized for apparently refer
ring to employees of the
sheriff's office as *‘SOB'’s.”
In a letter to McConnell
dated Dec. 15, the commis
sioner said employees of the
sheriff's office had been acting
as bodyguards for a represen
tative of The News on visits to
Powell's office. ''l humbly de
mand that since these guards
are paid by the general public,
that you furnish me and my of
fice the same protection ... "
MORE SPECIFICS
The sheriff the following
day wrote Powell back and ask
ed for more specifics on the,
commissioner’s request, as to
whether Powell was asking for
guards 24 hours per day, seven
days per week, or just to and
from work. McConnell also said
an?' guards present in Powell's
office were also there for pro
tection of the commissioner
and his staff as well as for any
media representative.
In a letter to McConnell
dated Dec. 17, Powell said,
* ... I am not asking for body
guards for myself or the office
because we are sure that we
will be able to take care of
ourselves better than some
SOB who has been hired (em
phasis Powell’s) to do the job.
I don't believe it is fair for the
taxpayers of Chattooga Coun
ty to furnish (deputies) to body
guard an out-of-county resi
dent at bid-opening
time ... No!!! I don’t need a
bodyguard and I will have my
own driver and I am sure if
anything should happen to me
or anyone of our group that we
will be able to take care of the
trouble.”
Powell went on to say that
he felt ‘*at least’ 15 employees
could be cut from McConnell's
staff.
SHOOTING
The commissioner then
referred to a shooting incident
in 1984 in which he was slight
ly injured and said the sheriff
was "‘the last officer to appear
on the scene the night qus
shot. I have never been able to
find out why the GBI and the
FBI almost ignored this inci
dent ..." He went on to say
that he would like to cooperate
with the sheriff’'s office.
McConnell, in his responses
to Powell's letter, said on Dec.
18 that he understood the com
missioner's Dec. 17 letter as
saying that he had decided on
no additional protection from
the sheriff's o?fice.
OFFICERS
“Once again, I remind you
the officers who are sent to
your office are to keep peace
and for the protection otP you,
your wife and others in your of
fice, as well as members of the
news media. Also, I would like
to remind you that you were
the first to call officers to your
office at a bid-opening."
McConnell apparently was
referring to an incident last
Oct. 16 in which newsmen
found Summerville police of
ficers stationed just outside
Powell's office when they arriv
ed for a scheduled bid-opening.
The bid opening didn’t take

place and it was later learned
that the officers had been call
ed by the commissioner’s wife
before most media represen
tatives arrived on the scene.
McConnell also told Powell,
“I resent the statement you
made about the employees of
the sheriff’s department as be
ing, and I quote, ‘Some SOB
who has been hired . .. "
The sheriff also warned the
commissioner, "'lf anyone, in
cluding you, tries to take the
law into his own hands, he is in
direct violation of the constitu
tion' of our country and the
sovereign state of Georgia and
should and will be dealt with in
the manner set forth in the
U. S. Constitution. Let me urge

country strong for many years.
You as an elected official, of all
people, should uphold the con

system by not threatening to
take the law into your own

CALL GBI, FBI
Referring to Powell's
charges about the GBI and
FBI allegedly ‘“*almost’ ignor
ing the 1984 shooting incident,
McConnell suggested that the
commissioner contact Vernon
