There have been three days of testimony by dispatchers in front of a Winnebago County (Ill.) merit commission, which is investigating charges that a sheriff’s sergeant created a hostile workplace in the comm center. But citing uncertainties over confidentiality of the charges, the county board hasn’t released specifics on the allegations against Sgt. Aaron Booker. So far, dispatchers have testified about Booker’s behavior, including that he frequently slept at work, lost his temper and intimidated dispatchers. Coincidentally, Booker is running as the Republican candidate for sheriff against incumbent Dick Meyers. Read more about the investigation here.
