Inquiry into Sheriff’s Office Requested
A letter from Raymond Miller of Midland dated April 6, 2006 was sent to County Judge Wilburn Bednar and to each Glasscock County commissioner asking for an inquiry into possible improprieties within the Glasscock County Sheriff’s Office. Miller states that his letter was sent to the judge and commissioners because of his understanding that Sheriff Pruit is currently ill and may be unable to address his concerns. [The Miller letter was not previously made public, but Bednar provided the GC News with a copy April 12.]
Miller’s letter states that he faxed information regarding an investigation involving Jeff Walling to Deputy Ken Zunker at the Glasscock County Sheriff’s Office. Miller says Zunker told him the information was used for reporting purposes and then placed in his office, accessible only to himself and Deputy Keith Burnett. Miller contends that the information was subsequently made known to Walling, who was then an inmate at the Glasscock County jail.
In his letter, Miller asks that an inquiry be conducted to seek out who, other than Zunker, had access to the information and how it made its way to a jail inmate. He also asks Glasscock County for, as open records, detailed information for all calls placed to or from any county cell phones issued to or regularly used by Burnett during January, February and March of 2006.
