Page 6A-KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Wednesday, August 20, 1986 Wife Says Gary Sale Was Falsely Accused Dear Editor, I am writing to you in regards to my husband’s court case August 5, 1986. He was falsely accused of taking gasoline from East King Mustang, operated by Jerry Oliver Sr. He was suspended from his job pending the outcome of his trial. His name was put on the front page of three newspapers. That wasn’t enough, so the Kings Mountain Police Depart- ment is now making accusations that he took a bribe on a DWI. If this is so why hasn’t the accuser come forward to the public and the newspaper with a name. The state went to the trouble to get a special prosecuter to convict my husband. The case was postponed two times by the state. The humiliation and embarrassment to me and my hus- band did not matter. After 15 years of being in law enforcement I do not think he would risk his career for $10.11 worth of gas. I feel the most disappointed with the police department. The entire time that he was suspended only two policemen said they were sorry. I guess he is the only officer in Kings Mountain that has been accused of, or a charge brought against. I guess he has stepped on too many toes in the Kings Moun- tain area. It didn’t matter to Gary whether you were rich or poor, black or white, if you did something wrong, he would ADORN HAIR STYLING Welcomes TERESA WOODS BACK TO SCHOOL SPECIALS eli, ..*40.00 RELAXERS....... © 0 0 0000000000000 0000600 000000 © © 0000000 0000000000000 00 © 0 e000 0000000000000 PRESS AND CURL Offer Good From Aug. 20 To Sept. 20 WALK-INS ARE WELCOME Open Tues.-Wed.

I think the people at the police department should at least have the decency to speak and act friendly when they pass him on the street. It appeared to me that my husband was found guilty by the police department before he ever went to court, due the remarks made to my friend from one of the officers.) I am very sorry that he ever worked at the Kings Mountain Police Department. I would like to personally thank the city commissioners and the citizens of Kings Mountain for their prayers and support. It shows there are still good, honest people in our town. Thank You, Mary Sale Appreciates Wade Ford Dear Editor: I am a visitor to Kings Mountain for a two week period visiting my parents, Dot and Ed Heine, 145 Brookforest X Drive, Kings Mountain. After a stroke and long illness in January, 1986, I have become disabled. At the time I was taken sick I drove a 1985 Bronco II with a stick shift which I purchased in my home town of Virginia Beach, Va. Due to my illness and severe nerve damage to my back and left leg I can no longer drive a car with a clutch. On July 25th my Dad picked me up in Virginia Beach and Police Report Incidents drove the eight hours to his home. With my inability to drive I had to depend on neighbors for a chance to leave the house. My husband’s business Gesps him on the go seven days a week and since he works so hard and comes home tired all I can ask for him to take me for household necessities. Since this is the case my Dad thought that with an automatic shift car I could drive to get around. We started to look for a replacement car. I need to be up high for good vi- sion and I need room for my wheelchair, that accompanies me everywhere. We went to Wade Ford and met with Red Morrison and Wade Tyner. They were very helpful. Without seeing my present car they were able to quote me an approx- imate price on a trade in and also were able to find a new Bronco II with the options I needed. No Rush, No Hurry, No Push. What a pleasure to work with such dedicated people. All of this was completed in a week’s time. As soon as I deliver my present car (Dad has to go get it) they will put the finishing touches to the new one and I will be free to drive again. I want to personally thank Red Morrison and Wade Tyner for all the help and courtesy they showed me as an out of towner with a problem. DOROTHY J. SELLERS VIRGINIA BEACH, VA.
