Source: Dothan Eagle
Dothan Police Chief Steve Parrish released a statement on Wednesday regarding the recent allegations from a local blogger of public corruption by the leadership of the Dothan Police Department and 20th Judicial Circuit.
Parrish held a press briefing Wednesday afternoon during which he publicly addressed what he referred to as “misinformation” spread by a local internet blogger. Parrish said the internet post made by Jon Carroll on the Henry County Report website was filled with “outright lies.”
“In today’s social media driven society, many individuals take what they read on the internet as factual. While I am not in the habit of responding to misinformation published online by bloggers, accusations made concerning the credibility of the men and women of this agency shall not go unanswered,” Parrish said in the prepared statement he read aloud. “There are simply too many outright lies and fabrications in the blog to address individually, but his “opinion” has apparently been taken by many as “fact.””
... Parrish also addressed a photo of himself standing behind a confederate flag with a group of other law enforcement officers, including former Sheriff Andy Hughes and current police Capt. Carolton “Bubba” Ott.
