Clayton County Sheriff Kimbrough Hunts For Badges
Thursday, November 19, 2009
AJC Exclusive: Barber, pastors, Pep Boys employee among recipients
Acupuncturist Samuel Lee said Hill gave him the badge in exchange for discounted acupuncture appointments at Seoul Oriental Herbs in Doraville.
“The badge was for driving,” Lee told the AJC on Thursday. “Victor Hill came here for acupuncture and I helped him.”
Tyrone Spears, president of an Atlanta consulting company, said he contributed to Hill’s campaign and got a badge. He said he gave the badge back when the new sheriff took office. Spears said he never worked for Hill, but declined to say why he had a badge.
Last month, Georgia State Troopers arrested Pastor Anthony McMichael after he flashed a sheriff’s badge in an attempt to get out of a speeding ticket in Douglas County.
McMichael, a pastor of Mount Nebo Baptist Church in Jonesboro and Atlanta, was charged with impersonating an officer. His case is still pending, a Douglas County court clerk said Thursday.
