“To go from working in a prison to living there is a serious reversal of fortune, ... Stealing from inmates is both outrageous and ridiculous. I hope this case, along with our other numerous convictions of public officials in the past three years, will send the strong message that people who embezzle money from the government always get caught, and in Saline County they face severe punishment.”
“should and will not dampen the community's enthusiasm of helping our friends and neighbors from the South. Anybody stupid enough to do this is stupid enough to get caught.”
“You can run but you can't hide, ... This is the second defendant in six months who has fled the jurisdiction on the day of trial and it's also the second one we have caught with the assistance of the FBI.”
“From Arizona to Pennsylvania, they're literally running scared, ... FBI, Saline County sheriff's office, Benton police and all agencies for bringing these men to justice.”
“for some unknown reason had a doubt that Brown was guilty, although the sheriff did not participate in the investigation, was not present for the victim interview and it was his own office that conducted the investigation and arrested the defendant. That's the most bizarre thing I've heard since I became prosecuting attorney.”
