“As Miller County Sheriff, I am disappointed in the actions of someone that betrayed my trust along with yours.  I want the public to know that I will not tolerate this type of conduct by employees of the Miller County Sheriff’s Office and I expect Mr. Evans to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.  Mr. Evans’ individual conduct does not reflect on the dedication and service of the men and women of the Miller County Sheriff’s office.”
