  • Now if he would just come clean about all of his other illegal doings while wearing the badge, it would save money for the city and county and save young men and women’s reputation who are innocent

    • I totally agree.,
      It would also be nice if I could get my $150.00 (dollars) back.
      Nobody really wanted to believe me when I told them he did it.
      And it doesn't seem matter even after proving he did it.
      I guess the law doesn't apply to Mr mclure.
      Or if you have any kind of record it's considered ok for a police officer to arrest you & steal from you as well.???
      No I'm not a saint nor do claim to be but can someone tell me if when an officer of "the law"
      Is sworn in to serve & protect ;
      Does it say at any time that's it's ok
      to fill out & take US postal money orders AS LONG AS THEY HAVE A RECORD??
      I KNEW ABOUT VOTING.
      IS IT???

  • Mike is still one of the best guys in Gilmer County as is his family. Period. Hmmm maybe consider how many peoples lives hes saved by getting drugs off the street and lord knows what else.
    Should have more like him and Mr. Callihan in my opinion. If you cant say something good why say anything.
    If this man stays off the force its a God thing and may very well keep him safe for his family. He needs prayers and blessings! Not put downs from folks who know nothing.

  • I'm still struggling from this mess and still don't have my money back.
    I've had to go to food banks borrow,
    Beg.you'd think being an officer that that swore to serve & protect would know better.
    He could of done it to somebody that could afford it.
    700$ a month isn't a lot to live on.
    Its costed me every thing and I'm still paying.
    But who cares about the accused victim.
    LETS ALL PRAY FOR GOOD OLE LIFE SAVING m.g.McClure.
