A Macon County Sheriff Deputy is under investigation regarding a racial slur that was reported to have occurred in a private message and then shared on social media (both Facebook and Twitter).
March 2, 2021
This afternoon I was made aware that private communications (text messages) between two individuals was copied and posted to social media by an individual who was not a part of the original conversation. I was also made aware that one of the individuals allegedly involved in the private communication was a current member of the Macon County Sheriff’s Office.
At the time of this statement, I have not received any official complaints regarding this incident. I have also not received a complaint from the person involved in the private communication that has now been posted to social media.
Based on information that was made available to me this afternoon, I have requested an official review into the incident. That investigation has already been initiated.
This is a personnel matter of the MCSO and as such, I am limited to what information can be released at this time. Having said that, no further information will be released until it is deemed appropriate and only after a complete and thorough investigation has been conducted.
Respectfully,
Sheriff Robert L. Holland
Macon County Sheriff’s Office
