The Columbus Dispatch : 4 deputies at Jackson Pike jail accused of harassment
I have an interesting story about this officer:
I was locked up for a crazy misunderstanding over New Years but that's another story. Anyway after a night in the lock up in Jackson Pike I was ready to be discharged. My wife had dropped off several books to me for me to read but they never made it to me. As I was being disharged along with a whole bunch of other prisoners (of varying ethinicities) Sergent Worthington 'found' my books. I am a student and was at the time reading a book studying the interactions between African-Americans and Caucasian-Americans. I am a social sciences student so I thought nothing of the book but obviously Worthington had never heard of such madness. He laughed when I told him I like to read and then he shouted the names of the books so everyone could hear them. Then he came to the social studies book (called 'it's the little things' or something similar). He was shocked and read all of the blurb and excerpts from the book and called me a 'N..... lover' I was like 'what the heck?' and just looked at him dumbfounded. A few of the cops laughed but most didn't really say much. But I couldn't believe this idiot would just do this sort of thing to get a kick out of seeing somebody backed into a corner. He was looking at me like 'what are you gonna do about it?' I just shook my head and thought to myself 'in 15 minutes i'll be outta here but you have to come back everyday'
Anyway, I took a mental note of his name badge, 'Worthington', and was very pleased when I heard on the news today about the behaviour that has been occuring down in the jail. I hope that Worthington gets canned because he is a big redneck with no concern for other peoples feelings.
