Jones County Sheriff Greg Graver tells TMZ he was headed backstage Saturday night at the Great Jones County Fair to discuss security protocol with the band when he was stopped by a crew member and told no uniformed officers were allowed backstage, per the band.
Sheriff Graver says he was told the country duo even threatened to pull the plug on the concert if they saw any cops.
Graver says midway through the performance, he was told the band wanted a police escort out of town after the show -- but he told them he wouldn't spend "one tax dollar assisting them" ... after being disrespected.

I wonder how Sean Hannity feels about this story?
Good for the officers.....bunch of punks think they are in control....let them get in and out of the town the best they can!
Guess they go in the pile with the Dixie Chicks.
Who wants to do a line with a bunch of cops standing around?
Beyonce is anti-cop; they can tour with her!
Good riddance to both 'artists'.
