AN OKN LETTER TO THEfUMJC
FROM LUTHER H. SANDERSON
CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF OF R0K80N COUNTY
TO THE CITIZENS
OF ROBESON COUNTY:
I have spent practically all of
my professional life in law en
forcement. Most of those years
have been in the service to you,
the citizens of Robeson County,
first, in the capacity of deputy
sheriff, then as a detective for
more than eleven years.
As a law enforcement officer,
I faced many challenges each
day, but none was ever greater,
morally or professionally, than
on Saturday, January 3, 1961.
On that date, I Joined with six
other officers of the Sheriff's
Department in drafting a
collective letter of resignation to
Sheriff Hubert Stone.
The letter involved cir
cumstances surrounding my
having witnessed a uniform
deputy of the Robeson County
Sheriff's Department smoking a
marijuana cigarette, in June,
1960, while on duty. On the day
after I witnessed that event, I
notified Sheriff Stone of what I
had seen, also telling the sheriff
of previous incidents when I and
others had heard of this
particular deputy having smoked
marijuana.
'
In the tetter to Sheriff Stone
which, regretfully, as I look back
on it, una never delivered
hut was notarized, the other
officers and 1 stated that "we
feel that we cannot execute our
duties as Deputy Sheriffs by
arresting drug violators in this
county, when you, the Sheriff of
Robeson County allow this type
of violation in your department
without tiking just disciplinary
action."
After much discussion among
ourselves^ the letter was not de
livered to, Sheriff Stone, and we
jointly decided that our law en
forcement careers were too
precious to us to risk throwing
them away on the chance that
we might end those careers with
the action. We also hoped, at the
time, that Sheriff Stone would
take some kind of disciplinary
action. To this date, no
disciplinary action has been
taken regarding that officer, who
is still an active uniform Deputy
with the department.
That lack of action eventually
led me to resign my position as a
detective to seek tne office of
Sheriff of Robeson County.
If elected as your sheriff, it
shall never be my intention to
employ, condone, or otherwise
allow any officer under my
supervision to engage in any
type of criminal violation. An
officer has the responsibility not
only to enforce the law, but to
set an example to the public and
his fellow officers. >
THE SHERIFF HAS THE
RESPONSIBILITY TO INSURE
THAT EXAMPLE.
Thank you for your support,
Luther H. Sanderson
Candidate for Sheriff of
Robeson County
