Granville County Sheriff Brindell Wilkins allegedly told a man 'the only way you gonna stop him is kill him.'
The sheriff of a North Carolina county allegedly tried to arrange the killing of a deputy who planned to release a recording of him using"racially offensive language," according to court records.
After learning one of his deputies, Joshua Freeman, possessed the offensive tape, Wilkins reportedly told an unnamed individual on a phone call"the only way you gonna stop him is kill him."Wilkins, according to the indictment, told an unidentified man how to commit the killing"in a manner as to avoid identification," going as far as to discuss the time and place that would be best to kill him.
Wilkins supposedly encouraged the man to"take care of it," reassuring him he wouldn't reveal the plot to any law enforcement officials. The sheriff was charged for not arresting the would-be killer and failing to make efforts to prevent Freeman from being harmed, according to the indictment.
