So NCs most embarrassing Sherrif, Convicted Felon Gerald Hege is running for Sherrif because of course! Thanks Trump! Tell me Trump isn’t influencing the WORST of the WORST! the-dispatch.com/news/20180228/…

Apparently the stripped of his Tital Sheriff Gerald Hege took advantage of a NC expungement law & says he’s bored & ready to serve! This crook painted the jail baby blue & pink, brought back chain gangs & LARPed w/deputies in military fatigues #HowToGetAwayWithScandal

I used to do Complete Physicals for a life insurance company & often had to go to Davidson Counties Highrock Lake Area for Million $ policies I’m talking in peoples homes because 💰 I got pulled over one night driving home by 1 of his combat ready deputies & they searched my car

I didn’t pull over immediately because he was in an unmarked car, I turned on hazards and went to a 24 hr convenience store. I was dressed in professional scrubs & a white physicians jacket, with a picture ID as well as my drivers license and a hospital ID

Yet he questioned why I had a biohazard disposal box & needles to draw blood in my trunk He made me stand with my legs spread & hands on the car There was nothing illegal about my car or equipment In fact there’s a kind of professional courtesy lent to nurses by police USUALLY

I was tired and had a nursing baby at home He said I ran a stoplight I didn’t I stood like that for 20 minutes I felt breastmilk run down my stomach & when I asked if I could move he kicked my legs further apart & called a female to come search me & I stood like that another 15

When she finally got there I asked her if I could move & she said no I was pissed & scared I’d never been treated like this so I didn’t tell her about the breastmilk She didn’t glove up & that enraged me!

All I could think about was this local yocal putting her hands on breast that my baby fed from! And where those hands had been! She began her search putting her hands under my jacket & quickly pulled them off when she felt the wet demanding to know what it was Breastmilk!

I replied that I was supposed to be home with my baby by now not playing toy soldiers with them! That didn’t sit well They IMPOUNDED my car as “evidence” I was charged with running a red light & threatened with resisting arrest NO LIE! I had to wait for my husband to come get me!

He had to load up a sleeping infant & 10 yr old & drive 45 minutes to get me. Of course my baby started screaming about 5 minutes into their trip. My 10 yr old had been asleep because she had school the next day. My bff was a lawyer & fixed it all later but I had to pay $100 fine

Court costs & a few hundred to her. That’s my Sherrif Hege story. I told the life insurance company I would no longer go to Davidson County. I lost my contract with them. We were in the midst of buying a home. Hege DOES NOT need to be Sherrif EVER AGAIN. I’m not alone!

Horrible things happened to others in Davidson County NC! I can ONLY imagine what would have happened if I had been black or brown. Later Hege was tried for embezzlement & a whole bunch of federal charges!

On the deputy Cars he had front plates installed that said “No Deals” referring to criminals would never get deals in his county for lesser charges. Guess what? He got a deal! #NoSherrifHege
