June 25, 2011 Wide spread corruption found in Georgia sheriff’s office www.privateofficer.com
Talbot County Sheriff’s Office jailer Michael Gamble appeared before a judge Friday on bribery and other charges.
Prosecutors say he accepted a $500 bribe from a confidential source in June in exchange for providing safe passage and travel to trafficking illegal drugs in the area. He is also accused of accepting a $200 cash bribe in May to look up criminal history and vehicle tag information for a source.
Gamble’s release came a day after three other Talbot County lawmen were freed on their own recognizance.
Sheriff’s Maj. Jeff Sivell, part-time deputy sheriff Charlie Stephens and former Talbotton police officer Alvin Malone pleaded not guilty to Thursday to federal charges of extortion.
