GCSO Sheriff Arnott "deeply offended" about "slanderous statements" made by City of Springfield Mayor Bob Stephens
**FROM GCSO SHERIFF JIM ARNOTT**
To the Citizens of Greene County:
It is unfortunate I learned of City of Springfield Mayor Stephens' disparaging comments via messages from the media.
In communications I’ve had with various individuals at the Springfield Police Department, they do not agree with the Mayor's feelings on this matter. I have included a Facebook post below which was posted by the Springfield Police Officers Association. I am deeply offended the Springfield mayor would stoop to this level by making such slanderous statements for his own personal and political agenda.
Due to the current and ongoing lawsuit against me by the City of Springfield, I am unable to make any further statements at this time.
Respectfully,
Sheriff Jim Arnott
