The same wife that he started dating when he was a lieutenant and she was a contracted employee at the jail. Thankfully I have the ability to speak out because I have 20+ years in at the jail and can retire whenever I want, I'm sure others would love to comment but fear retribution.

Him being a LT. he is NOT in the union and thus NOT protected like the union guys. He can be fired for almost anything and that is why most of us regular Officers didn't want to become supervisors, (no protection). Unless there is some policy I don't know about and unless it is federal or state discrimination sadly he can be fired for no reason at all.

Maybe he should have turned a blind eye to security as well? I hope he sues the hell out of the county and Mrs. Allen gets the boot back to the gutter where she belongs. This woman (Yedlowski) is a complete idiot who tries to defy ever code of ethics and policy rules because she feels she is making a statement. She pushes all of the right buttons she can just to stir the pot. Idiots like her need to shut the F up and just do your damn jobs. Stop making all of the officers there look like their a bunch of recluse idiots.. Bernie there are officers who do care and do the right thing, let's not forget. The prison needs to turn back into a prison and not a circus or a a damn daycare. Professionalism needs to come back.
