The Sheriff has the authority to arrest state employees and federal employees and he should of, if they were impeding his investigation. I don't live in Washington any more and I'm still sick of the lies of the WDFW.

I'm sure feel for you guys and gals..............

Agree, I wish he would have arrested them!!!

Let’s be clear. It’s regional politics.

Brown is not the sheriff and all indications point to he won’t be sheriff come fall.

I still don’t get why everyone seems to be making a big deal about the officers having the approval to shoot the wolves if necessary. If a wolf was attacking a sheep in your barnyard you can shoot it.

Who's everyone?

The comments about getting approval to shoot the wolves is a reading comprehension issue, as the article states, they were "told" to shoot the wolves if still on scene upon their arrival.

Big difference between being given approval to take action and being directed to take action...

So is Brown the current Co sheriff or not?

You must like your wife? I've had a few girlfriends that would have been in trouble!

Depends on how much you like your wife.    

It could be an opportunity in disguise...

Lol, didn’t think about that angle???  Hmm. 😬

[Knocker of rocks]

Why didn't she take a few pictures or even a video of said precious wolves she loves so much ?

I’m sure she did. Employer’s phone = employer’s photos 

employers phone = taxpayer funded = our right to see said pictures/video because we pay for said employers wages through our taxes = FOIA

You're assuming she had a government phone. Not all land management agency employees get government phones, especially the lower on the totem pole they are, or if they spend most of their time out of cell service.

Photos taken on an employers time with a privately owned phone when the employer is the government could be argued to be government property.

Just ask Huma.
