Letter to Editor: Vaccine joke reflects poorly on commissioners’ chair

Source: Spring Hope Enterprise

It is sad that Nash County Board of Commissioners Chairman Robbie B. Davis posted a comment on the Nash County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page in response to Sheriff Keith Stone’s office arresting Elaine Fields Finkley after she absconded from its Electronic Monitoring Protection and Crime Tracking system.

Robbie’s comment was, “They were able to find her because of the Vaccine Shot.”

It is a damn shame that he would make that statement when folks are finding all kinds of excuses to not take the vaccine shot. But on top of being a public official, he oversees the sheriff’s office. Well, we all know it is a fact that he gave Sheriff Keith Stone hell when he was trying to get more funding to repair the Nash County Detention Center. He went as far as to temporarily limit the sheriff’s spending power.

The Facebook post states, “The Nash County Sheriff’s Office tracked Finkley to Charlotte, NC where she fled after she cut off her ankle monitor. Deputies of the NCSO found Finkley and a companion walking down the street and approached Finkley and her companion.”

The post goes on to say, “A special thank you to Wake County Sheriff Gerald M. Baker and the tremendous assistance by the Wake County Sheriff’s Office CAAT Team.”

I believe Robbie could have spoken to Sheriff Stone and asked him for more specifics instead of putting out information that may not be true as to how they found her.

Because I know Robbie, it is my ignant opinion that Robbie’s response is racist because during this time, some places are giving out vaccine shots and one could receive a cash reward.

Some folks took Robbie’s response as a joke, but I find it offensive since she is a Black female and also as a jab at Sheriff Keith Stone. Sheriff Stone and his office shouldn’t have to continue to put up with this guy’s unwarranted and definitely not needed criticism.

How much more are the citizens of Nash County going to allow Robbie B. Davis to get away with? I’ll wait!

Note: This is in response to: On August 26, 2021, the Nash County Sheriff’s Office (NCSO) arrested Elaine Fields Finkley after she had absconded from our E.M.P.A.C.T. (Electronic Monitoring Protection and Crime Tracking) system.

Robbie responded to me and I responded back but I see his response has been removed.

Nash County Commissioner Chair Robbie B. Davis Need To Resign

It is sad the Nash County Chair Robbie B. Davis posted a comment on the Nash County Sheriff Office Facebook page in response to Sheriff Steve Stone Office arresting Elaine Fields Finkley after she had absconded from their E.M.P.A.C.T. (Electronic Monitoring Protection and Crime Tracking) system.

Robbie’s comment was, “They were able to find her because of the Vaccine Shot.”

It is a damn shame that when folk are finding all kinds of excuses to not take the vaccine shot that he would make that statement. But on top of being a public official he oversees the Sheriff Office. Well we all know it is a fact that he gave Sheriff Keith Stone hell when he was trying to get more funding to repair the Nash County Jail. He went as far as to limit the Sheriff spending power until he finally lifted the limit.

The post said, “The Nash County Sheriff’s Office tracked Finkley to Charlotte, NC where she fled after she cut off her ankle monitor. Deputies of the NCSO found Finkley and a companion walking down the street and approached Finkley and her companion.”

Officials: Proposed Sanderson Farms site improperly zoned–Source: The Rocky Mount Telegram

A high-ranking Sanderson Farms executive has acknowledged that the rezoning of several hundred acres of land for a proposed poultry plant was incorrectly done.

Nash County officials say they are deciding on how to fix several errors in the a Nov. 1 rezoning of 150 acres at the southeast quadrant of N.C. 97 and Interstate 95. Most of the land in that area was zoned for residential use, and the Nash County Board of Commissioners rezoned the acreage to general industrial zoning — that allows more than 195 uses, possibly including the company’s poultry plant.
