The Alabama Ethics Commission voted on Tuesday to drop an ethics violation case against Etowah County Sheriff Todd Entrekin.
Thomas Albritton, the commission's executive director, confirmed the move in an email to AL.com Wednesday morning.
"Yesterday, the Commission determined that there was insufficient evidence of a violation of the Ethics Act by Sheriff Entrekin to warrant referral to either [Attorney General Steve Marshall] or the appropriate District Attorney and dismissed a pending case against him unanimously," Albritton said.
"Of course, under the Act both of those offices have the ability to separately investigate the issues [that] made the basis of that complaint if they so choose."

You can probably investigate every sheriff and warden for this. The jails are set up for this type of corruption with no oversight.
What's new brother?
It sounds as though some laws need tweaking to prevent this sort of abuse of privilege.
Two Sets of Laws.
Serve him cheese and spoiled ham and crusty bread for 2 years.
Then hang his lying, cheating, fat ace.
Feed him to his family.
We gotta start somewhere.
Something like this was happening here in Wicomico County Many years back, BUT the powers that be 'covered it up' to the detriment of the taxpayers...It wasn't quite as much money, but it wasn't anything to sneeze at either.
The person who reported it was canned. Whistleblowers should be protected.
Oh but remember, it is all for the kids, and cops are hero's right? They don't break the law right?
Funny how the ass cheek sucking cop lovers never have anything to say when more and more evidence proves my point that cops are cowards and don't give a damn about you or me or your safety... OH but they put their lives on the line, well so do soldiers and iron workers who build sky scrappers... The difference is, the cops know exactly what job they are getting and choose to do it... Here ends your lesson fools...
The words protected and prosecuted look too much alike!
