BREAKING NEWS: Worcester County Sheriff Reggie Mason Retaliates Against Sheriff Deputies

This just came out from fellow deputies: 

The FOP knew it was just a matter of time before there was retaliatory action from Sheriff Mason for not endorsing his candidate. 

Today Sheriff Mason announced that all secondary employment would cease. Now while this doesn't sound like a big deal to most it results in thousands of dollars in lost income to deputies who rely on that money to make ends meet for their families. When these deputies were recruited from other agencies they were told they could supplement their base salary with overtime through secondary employment. This offsets the loss of income from their previous employers to come to the Worcester County Sheriff's Office. 

This is also being done as retaliation against Leighton Moore the owner of Seacrets who supports Mike McDermott and hosted a fundraiser for him at his business. Mr. Moore is the largest employer of off duty Worcester County deputies. 

So people understand this is also a money-making adventure for the county. Every hour that is worked as secondary employment the business pays the county a flat rate which is far higher than the overtime rate and the county banks the surplus as an administrative fee. 

Strong work Sheriff. Glad you reinforced the fact that the FOP made the right choice. It's time to end the insanity.

Nice job Reggie. You should just sit out your last 6 months. The office would run much smoother if you did. And to think I used to respect you.

Mason has worn out his welcome. The fact that he even endorsed any candidate while he is in office is not only unprofessional it's unethical. Now to do this at the start of the summer season when OC businesses rely on this proves he is a bitter hateful old man who should resign now.

Worcester is now more dangerous thanks Reggie. Wonder who Nate Passwaters is sucking up to now? Reggie was pretty much his play daddy. Old nate dawg has burnt a lot of bridges in his career. Lol.

Mason has proved by this he is not a man of his word. If his own deputies can't trust him to keep his word then anything he says about any candidate is not to be believed.

I don't know sheriff Mason or his endorsed canidate Crisafulli,but if JT endorses them they have to be losers in the fact that he does endorse them.He's got his head so far up Jake Days ass thinking he is going to get somewhere,when in fact Jake probably wouln't piss on him.

Mason needs to turn around and walk out the door as in resign because this is very disturbing. He clearly can not separate his personal feelings for what is best for the community. That is the worst trait for any LE official to have and should be deeply concerning to all.

Mason's candidate (and his family) need to reign him in. He is doing a disservice to his candidate and is embarrassing himself whether he knows it or not.

You just tripped over your own tongue here, Reggie! I guess your deputies mean less to you than the office .

Thanks for the meds up.

Wow. Where did you get your facts from, McDumbass. Once Secrets hires a new security this office will never get the job again.
Also isn’t it true last year secrets was going to employ Wicomico instead anyhow?
Let me guess your partner in crime mike can fix this..... he’s a commander now, he should have stopped it already. Too little to late. When this is done it’s done.

Agreed!! Used to have so much respect for him, now I see how worthless he is.

Where does he have the right to regulate how much money an employee can make from 'off duty' jobs? Talk about on a power trip!!

Reggie you lost my support long ago I always knew you were a snake in the grass!

Just like most on the gravy train. They don't get out when the getting is good. They only get too old and loose their edge. They get greedy and hate to leave the so called power position and fail every time. It's sad they don't realize it. Look at the Maryland Lube Girl......stole enough to live large on a hillside in sunny CA, but has lost any relevance or say.

Thanks Matt C., but that will be Sheriff McDumbass to you when he is elected and your job is TOAST.

How do you get on here, Matt. and say negative things about your future Boss? You are going down like the POS you are. Buh Bye!

Can't wait till Matt Crissafulofshitty loses his job over this and other Negativity towards the future Sheriff.

Guess what Matt, all those Deputies that lost their part-time jobs thanks to your buddy Reggie Mason. It is going to cost you your election, my friend.

If they don't make enough money as a full-time Deputy then they made a mistake changing jobs, IF IN FACT that is why they did change????? Any time you take a new job a person normally checks to ensure he can provide a living for his family on the salary offered, over-time and extra duty pay is and should be viewed only as temporary! Not a big deal, businesses shouldn't get any special consideration over their everyday assignments of the Officers! It's the Sheriff's call and within his authority to do so.

Secondary work as security through the county, they could get a secondary job at Walmart, Loew’s, Home Depot.

McDermott all the way!!

Anonymous said...

4:25 businesses are not getting any special consideration at all. They pay a lot for the use of the deputies as security. They are doing it while off duty. Not only do the deputies benefit which means more money into the local economy but the tax payers too because some of the hourly wage goes to the county.
6:32 no they couldn't because Mason has apparently stopped secondary employment.

4:25 your a moron. The tax payers do NOT benefit. As the commissioners.

Not just Seacrets' needing experienced security personnel, several watering holes in OC - including the Green Turtle - are soliciting for help immediately!!!! The trickle down effect is huge!

Golf clap for a job well done there Reggie...you can't get back to the farm fast enough!

When the deputies turn on their boss and publicly support another candidate, they should expect what they get.

This is exactly why the FOP endorsed Mike McDermott and Bill McDermott. Reggie endorsed both of their opponents. Enough said, game over.

Reggie took advice from the dumb ass oc worthless fire chief.what else can we do to kill morale!!

He is just another arrogant pos. Eat s$$$ you scoundrel.

If he's arrogant then he is a loser He has nothing to be arrogant over. A man who can't stand by his word isn't a man. He's a nothing and he's proven he is quite stupid. This stupidity will cost Cristafulli votes.

And they both laugh at you worthless liberal crybabies everyday, losers.

Why are there these ignoramuses who are saying Mike McDermott said Sheriff Lewis endorsed him? Jonathan Taylor is one of them. Are they intentionally being liars or is it their IQ levels are somewhere in the imbecile/idiot/moron range? It's one of the other.
Sheriff Lewis didn't say who people should vote for nor did McDermott say or even insinuated that he did. All he did was post a quote, These blatant lies coming out of the Crisafulli campaign is disturbing and goes to show low people can sink. I wish they all would become democrats because just like democrats Taylor and the rest lie pathologically and are nasty people. Their phony outrage and attempts to create a controversy when none exists is showing that dishonesty is something candidate Cristfulli is comfortable with.

The other one running no one mentions Scott Bernal needs to check himself in for a mental evaluation. He just released this on his FB----- "To the citizens of Worcester County. I have always intended and will continue to run a positive campaign for this prestigious position of Sherrif."

THEN goes on to trash Mike Mcdermott.
Bernal has gone on to prove he too is a liar and his rant is disturbing to put it mildly.

Anonymous said...

People in Bernal's neighborhood have been saying for 20 years he's psycho. He's paranoid they said and he used to say a muslim was taking pictures of his house or something like that. Also that he hardly ever worked so maybe he is a mental case. He does have 2 peace orders taken out on him that you can see on MD case search. One only 4 years ago,

Mike McDermott is the only one who has run a clean positive campaign. The others have nothing of substance to run on so they try to deflect from that by try to trash Mike.

Anonymous said...

and Scott Bernal was impaired last thursday early voting seems he made a spectacle of himself as he just did on social media blasting Mike... Not a leader I would vote for nor would I want to vote for anyone he recommends.. Jonathan Taylor is about intelligent as a dust ball..still feeding on the sheddy case bla bla bla..they dont know the whole story..I wish JT would roll back in his hole and STFU...its plain and simple to see Mike has more experience hands down..How in the hell can you say (Hey lets vote for Matt the nice guy just because he is nice) Nice does NOT run a Sheriffs Office..it can get officers killed and the public put at risk..anyone who votes for Matt might as well write in Mickey Mouses name

4:08 the funny thing was the targets of his paranoia weren't Muslims. They were Israeli and Jewish! We believed he didn't know the difference and thought they were terrorists.

I know this order was reversed but it is a major factor as to why I am voting for McDermott. Usually any kind of endorsement has little impact on who I will vote for. In this instance I think it is crucial due to the fact that it gives insight into the vindictiveness and shows what our deputies face. This stunt of Mason's is a true eye opener and should make anyone rethink a vote for Mason's hand picked successor. That so many deputies and LE from other county agencies support McDermott and given Mason's revengeful actions the choice to vote McDermott is a no brainer.

The Sheddy thing is old. There is a lot more to it including the victim her a pedophile who was having sex with a 15 year old while she was 28. That is something that they never mention. While murder is not ever a solution there are certain times when sympathy must be given to both parties. The boy who was involved in the murder didn't grow up in any good circumstances and then to have a grown woman going after him sexually it will mess up his already messed up mind.
