Kidwell humiliated in "no confidence" vote

It just keeps getting worse for embattled Campbell County Sheriff Jeff Kidwell - a Tea Party favorite.

After Kidwell falsely claimed to have 18 years of experience in the sheriff's department - a claim that appeared in a law enforcement magazine - both of the county's Fraternal Order of Police chapters have approved a "no confidence" vote against him. One of the chapters approved such a resolution by a vote of 24 to 6.

Kidwell - sporting a Kim Jong-un hairstyle - offered a strange defense in a TV interview. His excuse is that he didn't write the magazine article that repeated his own bogus claim.

The besieged lawman says the FOP's "no confidence" votes are part of a conspiracy to elect a Democrat in the fall. This despite the fact that Kidwell has a challenger in the Republican primary. Besides that, police tend to be a rather conservative bunch.

If Jeff Kidwell remains sheriff after the next election, there must be something truly wrong with people.
