SHOCK!!! REPORT: JACKSON COUNTY SHERIFF SHARP RESIGNING AMID ONGOING COWORKER CANOODLING, HARASSMENT, AND REAL ESTATE SCANDAL!!!
Here's an open "secret" exploited by political enemies amid election season.
Gossip about an alleged affair came up YEARS AGO in TKC blog comments and nothing came of it. And then, credit where it's due, dox touting the drama were pushed to local media and became relevant as the Courthouse devolved into chaos over the past year.
Most of this stuff was actually published in the newspaper and other publications in 2016 but Sheriff Sharp benefited from the "friendly" administration of disgraced former Exec Mike Sanders.
This would be more important if anybody really cared or thought about Jackson County prior to property tax time . . . OR if anybody but a small clique of Democratic Party politicos knew Sheriff Sharp.
Check a much more thoughtful write-up from The Jackson County Advocate:
According to a statement released by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department, Sharp takes full responsibility for his actions.
“I allowed my judgment as Sheriff and my obligations to Jackson County be clouded because of my feelings for someone I cared very deeply for in the past,” said Sharp in the statement. “I am accountable for my actions. This was a personal failing and is entirely my responsibility.”
Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker’s office was first made aware of the misconduct and Sharp’s involvement in a civil case against the county last year.
“My office was notified in late 2017 by the county counselor of concerns regarding a pending civil action involving the Sheriff,” Peters Baker said in a statement issued this afternoon. “We contacted a law enforcement agency and began our own investigation into the matter. We also closely monitored the on-going civil litigation involving Jackson County. While the allegations that have come to light are extremely troubling, today’s resignation satisfies the state’s interest regarding a potential ‘quo warranto’ action to remove the Sheriff from office. We will continue to monitor this matter and take any appropriate action in the future.”
MSM:
KCTV5: Jackson County Sheriff Mike Sharp plans to resign from post, KCTV5 sources say
KSHB: The plan to resign may be connected to a lawsuit involving Sharp . . . Documents also revealed that Sharp and (an administrative assistant) were in ongoing romantic, sexual and financial relationship throughout her employment with the Sheriff’s Department.
Fox4: The Sheriff's Office confirms that Sharp's resignation will take effect Thursday.

Actually, I'm kind of shocked. Sharp was elected twice and everyone knew about his dalliances. They have been well documented.
ReplyDeleteAs for his resignation. At least he is doing the right thing.
The office of Sheriff is very weird. To be honest, it should be an appointed position and not an elected one. The duties of the job are mostly political but there's a few serious things in there that just get confusing for an elected person to navigate. Same thing goes for the prosecutor.
DeleteIt's time for a serious look at the Charter. We need to figure out how to keep these people from hurting themselves and the taxpayers.
Sheriff Sharp is actually a very good person. He did a good job for the County no matter what his haters assert. He's basically a casualty of Frank White's administration.
DeleteIt's not the county charter that says a Sheriff is elected. It's state law. Good luck changing that.
DeleteCaleb wins!
ReplyDeleteIf the star cared about a peon like Caleb, they would find all his ladies too.
DeleteSharp purchased a residence with Lynde that is located out of Jackson County and north of the river. When anyone purchase a residence they have to sign a form stating it is their "residence" meaning they are going to live there. Sharp could NOT do that as state law requires he, as a Jackson County public official, MUST reside in Jackson County. Therefore: Clear cut bank fraud.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a weak case of fraud to me. There's got to be more than that to make him resign.
DeleteAt this time I would personally like to thank Tony for his website he brings valuable information about this city every day and some local news we weren't aware of.
ReplyDeleteA standing ovation for Tony!
Sharp needed to go back in 2015. He should have not be elected or reelected.
ReplyDeleteWhat a joke everyone knew what a POS he was but refused to hold him accountable. The KC STAR endorsed him every time, the liberal rag it is. Then all of the support he obtained from Jackson County Democrats. What an embarrassment to his followers and family.... plus he may go to jail except he has Mean Jean sucked up to him to save his ass, will take the FEDS to find him a cell next to Sanders. BYE BYE
ReplyDelete....why people live in kansas
ReplyDeleteHow about some pictures of the hosebag? Documents reveal she slept with both the Sheriff and his wife. Between this clown and Greitens Missouri looks like a pack of inbred hillbillies.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Mudzoory has been Arkysaw's next door neighbor for over two hundred years, y'all. The Show Me yours (I'll show you mine) state is full of Clinton kissing cousins. It has to be. Probably been lotsa rapey relations and bimbo eruptions way back to Billy Jeff's great great grandpappy.
Delete11:26, electing a sheriff is sort of like electing an auditor. There is a certain degree of independence that is only available to an elected officials. Sometimes that independence can be helpful.
ReplyDelete^^^^ And don’t even bring up the mess the coons have turned shitty Louis into. Lmao!
ReplyDeleteFor years little Mikey thought he was so slick. Always just a wanna be, pretend cop. Justice for that pompous little dick!
ReplyDeleteAnd don't think that the other ranking officers at the SO didn't know about this.
ReplyDeleteThe magic of Jackson County government continues!
ReplyDeleteAnd just how much does all this incompetence, shady dealing, graft, and personally destructive behavior cost the taxpayers of JaCo every year?
A cesspool from top to bottom.
Him and his wife were screwing the same black women.
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with white people always wife swapping or sleeping with kids. Then they criticize blacks for doing this shit. Now I know where black people got it from the slave masters
ReplyDeleteFrank - County Exec, Greitens - Gov, Trump - President. 'Merica!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete1:55 you think only white people do this stuff, HA-HA how stupid you are! And don't forget since you are living over 100yrs ago in the past that your own people sold you out to slavery!!!!!!
While they're at it, need to get into the other stuff and clean house over there.
ReplyDeleteAt least Grietens wasn't into making his old lady do lesbo sex with his girlfriend, while the girlfriend was eating pussy all over the courthouse.
ReplyDeleteWhen did he get any "Sheriff-ing" done?
Real estate scandal?!
ReplyDeleteYou mean the local KC press has finally found the bread crumbs to the corruption of the KC Loews Convention Hotel? I bet KC city manager Troy Schulte is sweating droplets (of Swiss cheese) now.
God knows the KCMO council members are literally too stupid to figure it out.
So to believe the above idiot the County Executive caused Sharp to have a (3) way, and to be a sex freak. Buy a house with his lover move to another county and send porn out when he worked for the police dept. WoW
ReplyDeleteDutch is turning in her grave. Her support is the only reason that shady POS won.
ReplyDeleteJean Petersucker Baker is a weak, worthless prosecutor. Maybe Jean Petersucker Baker could spend more time prosecuting murderers if she didn't have to spend so much time investigating dipshit elected criminals like Frank White, Mike Sharp, and Mike Sanders. I hope both Frank White and Mike Sharp get sent to prison and get buttucked like Mike Sanders.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is seeing this as a win for Frank White. If he has half a brain, he should be losing his shit because he's next. The state auditor is going to find out how he and Caleb have "screwed" the county's finances.
ReplyDeleteSheriff of Broward County Florida and Jackson County Missouri are two peas in a pod.
ReplyDeletehire your mistress give her huge raises and help buy her a house then have her sue the taxpayers for a huge settlement , sure sounds like fraud to me
ReplyDeleteSo, we have a criminal sheriff with his slut on the payroll. Big deal. That is still better than having a gay faggot for sheriff.
ReplyDeleteDamn! They sure know how to PARTY in downtown Independence!
ReplyDeleteVoters were warned about him when his raunchy emails at KCPD were disclosed, but just like Trump, they elected a womanizer who claimed he was a changed man. Hopefully Frank White will nominate someone that really can make a difference in the county in reducing crime. Letting a commission hire a political hack is not the answer.
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^ That's a scary thought right there.
ReplyDeleteHow is Frank White’s house up for foreclosure 3 years running and he is in charge of County finances? Isn’t the first rule to make your house payment? What has he pissed his money away on? At least a couple million from playing in the mlb, and coaching, broadcasting. He wants to blame the Royals for his financial mismanagement. He’s now making $140,000 +, getting a $10,000 a month pension, driving a county vehicle with free gas and he can’t make his house payment. He shouldn’t be in charge of anything.
ReplyDeleteHi Dan. You really want to focus on Frank's mortgage as the more significant issue vs Sharp’s disgusting and predatory behavior? You supported this revolting individual time and again. You should be ashamed. I hope your opponent drills you with your unholy alliances in the primary.
DeleteCrooked MO official resigns. Time for KS to step up.
ReplyDeleteWhen does Contempt of Court Kobach resign?
So this guy was able to finesse threesome sex with his ex-wife AND his goomba WHILE the goomba sued him for sexual harassment and simultaneously manage to remain 9+ years in a job for which he was grossly under-qualified? Only in Missouri, but Sharp is the MAN!
ReplyDeletePussy is the root of all evil.
ReplyDeleteChristine Lynde or Christine Hickman? Poor Kearney coach, shes all yours now.
ReplyDeleteHey Hugh you hero you, now we know who “ Writes on Shithouse Walls” what a guy.....to bad it was a Lesbian Swinger who was fucking your boss who you threatened.
