How can people vote for a man who wrecked there county and is facing 37 felony counts from the first time he was sheriff . Victor Hill pretty much destroyed the Clayton Co. Police dept. as well as the sheriff dept.He once had his sheriff officers fudge up a Clayton Police sting on purpose so he would get the credit. This is the only thing i am worried about when it comes to the nov. elections ....STUPID VOTERS.

The 51-page indictment details the charges against Hill that date back to 2007, but include allegations as recently as last summer. Special prosecutor Layla Zon, of the Alcovy Circuit, presented evidence that Hill ran the sheriff's office as an "enterprise" engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity.
#The charges also confirm rumors that swirled around Hill during his stay in office, including that he repeatedly put an employee, Beatrice Powell, on paid administrative, or sick leave, so she could take personal vacations with him.
#"He ordered that a sheriff's office employee be placed on paid administrative leave, so that she could travel with Victor Keith Hill on personal trips and still receive a salary," according to the indictments.
#The indictments also allege that he illegally profited from his position as sheriff through various means. The charges tie Hill directly to the May indictment of his former spokesman, Jonathan Newton, and that he illegally profited from a kickback scheme involving the publication of "The Star," his newsletter.
#"He illegally profited from his position as sheriff by allowing a sheriff's office employee to receive payment from Clayton County in the form of 'kickbacks,' from the company that printed a publication entitled, 'The Sheriff's Star,'" alleges the indictment.
#The indictment charges Hill with multiple counts of theft by taking, for allegedly going on personal trips in the county's 2006 Dodge Charger, and 2003 Ford Excursion, to Helen, Ga., Florida, Alabama, South Carolina and Mississippi, using county fuel, or by using Clayton County funds to buy fuel out of town.
#Hill is also accused of using campaign funds for his personal use. Specifically, Hill is charged with paying Naomi Nash $15,000 from his campaign account purportedly for her services as his campaign manager. Prosecutors allege that most of the money was returned to Hill after the funds were deposited, and then withdrawn from Nash's personal account. The indictment alleges that Hill took $22,000 in campaign funds from Aug. 14, 2008, to Nov. 17, 2008.
#On June 6, the indictment alleges, Hill took a $2,000 contribution from Joon Co. Beauty Master-Morrow, and deposited it into his personal Bank of America account.
#Rumors also alleged that Hill directed Newton to work on his biography while on the county payroll. That allegation is outlined in count 20: "He unlawfully [took] the services of Clayton County Sheriff's employee Jonathan Newton, the property of Clayton County, by directly and indirectly ordering Jonathan Newton, while said employee was on duty, and while said employee was being paid by Clayton County, to work on a book that Victor Keith Hill was writing."
#Hill is also accused of ordering Newton to work on his campaign while on the county clock. The indictment alleges that Hill violated his oath of public office when he vowed to "take only my lawful fees."
#Nash, 35, reportedly testified before the grand jury, giving evidence against him. Hill's indictment includes a charge he tried to influence Nash in September to not testify against him before a special grand jury.
#"With the intent to deter Naomi Nash, a witness, from testifying freely, fully and truthfully to a matter pending in front of a Special Purpose Grand Jury of Clayton County, [Hill] did unlawfully offer and deliver services of an attorney and assistance with personal tasks as a benefit, reward and consideration" after Nash was locked up for her refusal to testify, the indictment charges.
On his first day in office, Hill fired 27 deputies, posting armed snipers on the roof of the courthouse to counteract any perceived violence. The deputies sued and collected a multi-million-dollar settlement. They were also rehired.
