On May 21 at approximately 5 p.m., I was confronted at my home by sheriff’s candidate Wayne Hannah. This was the same day that my letter to the editor appeared in The Citizen, in which I expressed my concerns about sheriff’s candidate Dave Simmons’ campaign signs being removed from locations in the county.
To receive an uninvited, no-notice visit by Lt. Col. Wayne Hannah of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office was quite a shock. He stated that he had come to talk to me about the letter that I had sent to the editor.
The event has caused concern to both me and my wife about possible retaliation for the legal exercise of my constitutional right of freedom of speech.
