Okay I know that most of you all are not from Lamar or even really know very much about it but I just want to tell you all a story that happened just a couple days ago. Rumor had it in Lamar that our Sheriff, an older Sheriff, and an attorney had been arrested for “tampering with evidence.” This rumor went strong for a couple of days and there was not a person in town that hadn’t heard about it. It was even all over Facebook. People were saying that they knew about the trial for them and it was being transferred to a different county.
Well come to find out the older Sheriff that is a friend of mine has a bus route and for someone that got arrested he sure didn’t miss a day of work. There were lots of signs that told me this was just a rumor and come to find out that is all it was.
Some guy that worked at Thorco said he saw the news and said that the news said all this. Well he heard wrong or just wanted to start a rumor. The actual story was that it was Barry County and it was the prosecuting attorney and the Sheriff for tampering of funds. Wow how can something so completely different be changed into that? And I assure you those three people accused caught hell for it. All because of small town rumors. This just kind of rubs me the wrong way considering one of them was an old family friend.
The old gossip mill of Lamar is still in full swing!!
Love the post! Since you and I both are Lamar people! I heard that rumor as well, but knew differently because my parents are good friends with the old Sheriff. That is Lamr! Always Drama, Drama, Drama!
