H4G, pay no attention to the troll, if you respond to it, or look it in the eye, you will be giving it far more recognition than it deserves, and it will feed on it for sure. also, don't stray too close to it's cage, as it will attempt to grab you. trolls make nonsensical posts hoping you'll respond. don't get riled up, it has the maturity of a third grader, and behaves accordingly. carry on.

It has tenticles with other screen names....................

There was a column today, Dear Abby, about DID...Duel Identity Disorder...or something like that. Can you imagine the excitement of being married to someone like that? Wake up on Saturday morning and it's a totally different personality...and new ones creep in on occassion....a complete stranger in your bed.

My two kids and I were coming from the Silver Sands Outlets shopping approximately 1 year ago when my vehicle broke down close to the old Bayou Bills Rest. I had been sitting there for about 25 minutes, while watching a total of two deputies past my vehicle without even stopping to see if I needed help. I was then trying to reach a family member to comes pick us up on the cell phone, when a truck stopped to see if I needed some help. The man put the my two kids (ages 3 & 5) inside his truck so they could get cooled off from his a/c while we glanced under my hood to see if we could find out what might be wrong with my car. While we were looking under the hood of my car I told the man about the deputies that had past my vehicle without even slowing down. The man never said anything bad about them just said "Maybe they were going to an urgent call or something". Needless to say it was my fuel pump that had went out and could not be fixed there on the side of the road. The man then gave me and my two kids a ride to our house. I asked the man his name and he stated "Mike Adkinson Jr., I'm the Chief of Police in Defuniak Springs". I tell you what, I truly believe in angels and God sends help anyway he can when your in need....even if he has to send a Chief of Police! God Bless you Mike Adkinson and thanks again for your help. Good luck this August in the election.....you've got my entire family and friend's vote!

Great story. You were not far from the Walton County Sheriff's Office in Santa Rosa Beach. Just save 267-2000 in your cell phone, call them up and tell them you need assistance until someone else arrives.

Thanks Fuzz Sunday for the info. What I can't understand is why do I have to call the sub-station to get a deputy to stop and help me? Are they suppose to stop and render aid to stranded vehicles automatically or wait till a call comes in and then they are dispatched? Either way, I have the WCSO # stored in my cell now, and I just bought me a fairly new car a few months ago so maybe I won't need to call them for this same problem in the near future. Thanks again

I am glad that I could be of service to you. As for your question, maybe what the Chief told you was true. Maybe they could've been going 10 18X. I know that if I am stranded and I have my child with me and I have the capability to contact the Sheriff's Office or PD, I would do that, if it was necessary. I would not automatically think negatively about those officers.

Oh, by the way, are your talking about that Sunday you works in investigations out at the South Walton Sub Station? Let me tell you, he is an outstanding individual .:rofl:

On several occasions over the last two years my business has required me to travel to the City of DeFuniak Springs. During this time, I have had the opportunity to meet with City and County officials. One of the City officials I have been in contact with is City Marshal Michael Adkinson Jr. On ever occasion Marshal Adkinson has been very professional and represented the City of DeFuniak Springs in a positive way. When in conversation with Marshal Adkinson one gets a true feeling of his concern for the well being of DeFunaik Springs citizens and visitors.

Marshal Adkinson has held town hall meeting such as "Dinner with the Chief" to keep citizens and employees informed on programs/improvements scheduled for the Marshal's Office. I am only aware of a few improvements Marshal Adkinson has made while serving the citizens of DeFuniak Springs, FL. I wanted to take the time and point a few of them out.

1. When Marshal Adkinson began service officers wore three (3) different
styles of badges. To date that has been corrected.
2. Marshal Adkinson implemented a physacal fitness program.
3. Marshal Adkinson implemented a policy and procedures for day to day
operation of the agency.
4. Marshal Adkinson set organization goals and objectives, professional
growth of employees to meet requirements established by State law and
administrative rules.
5. Marshal Adkinson initiated the Accreditation process from the
Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation, Inc.

This list covers only a few topics I became aware of by attending meeting attended by Marshal Adkinson. This short, but powerful list proves Marshal Adkinson is committed to a high standard of professional law enforcement services to the DeFuniak Springs residents and visitors.

I know if elected Sheriff of Walton County Michael Adkinson will continue on this path providing professional law enforcement services to all residents and visitors of Walton County by demanding professionalism, excellence, and competence from all Walton County Sheriff's Office employees.

Thank you for your time reading my post,

Calm down, Mrs. Sunday nobody is saying anything bad about Sunday at the S.W. Sub-station. Yes he is a great guy and they should have more employees like him working at the S.O. I've known who Steve was way before he went to DOT and then came back. He's a great guy!!!
