As previously reported in other blogs, on August 20, 2010, Whidbey News-Times newspaper reported that Island County Deputy Sheriff Henry Schwab was charged with DUI after he crashed his motor cycle.

It shall indeed be interesting to see how the Sheriff’s Office deals with this Sheriff and the publicity that should come from this. Further, it shall be interesting to see how the Island County Prosecuting Attorney’s office deals with this. Will they make an example of Deputy Sheriff Henry Schwab? Will they simply treat him like everyone else? Will they do the right thing and remove themselves and bring in a “conflict prosecutor” to prosecute this Deputy Sheriff? I don’t know but I will definitely be looking into this.
It also raises many other issues. The truth is that I feel for Deputy Schwab and his family. Clearly he made a mistake and will pay. But, humans make mistakes and should be given an opportunity to beg for and eventually receive forgiveness. While it is true that he broke the law he has sworn to enforce, there may be other issues that he is dealing with. Check here in future weeks for more updates regarding this particular story.
