State To Investigate Police Chief's Record Continued from Page 1 State standards also prohibit anyone convicted of any felony offense from being certified as a law enforcement officer. The Criminal Justice Standards division was not aware of Rathburn's criminal record until asked about it by The News Record earlier this month. "We didn't have any of the information about his past record,'' Perry said. "We would normally like to have that information." Weaverville Town Manager Charles Home said he knew that Rathburn had some "minor problems with the law" before he joined the Weaverville police force. "We are aware of some minor stuff," said Home, who was not town manager when Rathburn was hired aa a police officer. "They (Standards Division employees) have not contacted me." Rathburn could not be reached for comment. Home fired Rathburn on Aug. 28 for undisclosed reasons. Rathburn requested a grievance hearing so that he could present his side of the issue. That grievance hearing began Sept. 33, but was recessed after three hours and and scheduled to resume Sept. 9 Sometime during that recess, attorneys for the town and for Rathburn reached an agreement in which Weaverville officials simply allowed Rathburn to resign. County, Sheriff Disagree Over Funding For Jail -Continued from Page 1 Commissioners have warned that Brown will be some $38,000 over budget if he continues spending at his current rate. Brown said last week he was con sidering taking the commissioners to court to get the money he say9 he needs. Brown hasn't changed his mind, and this week appears more certain that he will file a lawsuit. "We are definitely going to file a lawsuit. No doubt. No question," he said. Brown said he has talked to three attorneys, who have indicated that he should take legal action against the county if he feels he is not receiving adequate funding to meet minimum jail standards. Brown refused to reveal the names of those attorneys. "I don't think there is any question that we are going to file a lawsuit, unless they (commissioners) up and say, 'Here's what you need, we'll give it to you," he said. Brown said he has already spent money, raised by a citizens group, on attorneys fees. "I can't back out now unless I get what I want," he said. County commissioners, mean while, say they cannot give Brown the money he wants without cutting the budgets of other departments. "The fact is, there's just no money there to give him," Steen said. Steen, in an unofficial move, at tempted this week to reach a com promise with Brown in an attempt to prevent litigation. "I didn't feel like the county needed the adverse publicity or the cost of at torneys fees draining the county's purse any more," he said. Steen told Brown the commissioners might be able to give him another $11,000 to operate his department, and might be willing to allow him to keep the profit on funds collected by the sheriff for housing out-of-county prisoners in Madison County Jail. "I talked to him about it this morn ing. He acted like he had no interest in that at all. He's not the least bit in terested, as far as I can tell," Steen said Tuesday. "I feel like I offered him a fair com promise and a significant increase," he said. "I don't feel the taxpayers can stand any more burden, and we can't change the budget now." Steen 's talks with Brown have been unofficial and any agreement would have to be approved by county board Chairman Robert Capps and Com missioner John Hensley. "This is only something I'm doing on my part and the other two have not gone along with me yet," he said. Brown confirmed that he has been approached by Steen with a com promise offer, and that he has re jected it. "I indicated to him that would not help me any," he said. Brown said he has had no contact i w_?-? < with Cappt or Hensley since last Mon day's board meeting. Brown alao said he is no longer keeping out-of -county prisoners in Madison County Jail. "I've stopped taking in prisoners because it's hurting my budget," he said. "I was taking in a little bit of money from it, but they (commis sioners) weren't putting it back into my budget and it was ending up hur ting my department." County officials have been placing prisoner revenues into the county general fund. Expenses related to the hoisting of those prisoners come from the sheriffs budget, Brown said. While county commissioners have said that Brown may be some 938,000 over budget come June, Brown says that $38,000 is the difference between the amount he requested from county officials and his actual allocation. Brown had asked for 9337,000 in county finds; he received 1180, 130. But if Brown was so concerned about the amount of money he wanted from county officials, why did he not attend any of the commissioners' budget workshops, Stoen asked. "We told him if he couldn't cut his budget to come back and see us," he said. "Now, in the middle of the year, he's being so demanding." Commissioners have said they gave Brown a lump sum of money and left it up to him to decide how to spend it.
