Mr. Henley asked the County Attorney, Mr. St. John, to comment. Mr. St. John said
plenty can be done about the lack of law enforcement in the area but such has to be done by
the owner of the premises and the Sheriff's Department has the authority to enforce state
and county laws if they are being violated on the property. However, no law enforcement
officer can arrest someone for a misdemeanor, which is a traffic violation, until someone
seeing such swears out a warrant. Mr. Garwood said this has been done and has been beaten
in Court. Mr. St. John noted that the Board of Supervisors has no control Over the Sheriff's
Department. The problem being expressed is lack of law enforcement and the Board cannot
direct, control or supervise the Sheriff's Department. Miss Mash asked if the roads in
the Court are public. Mr. Garwood said the roads are private. Mr. Henley asked if the
Board had any control over how a mobile home court is operated if there were no conditions
on the original approval. Mr. St. John said no. Mr. Henley asked if there was any organizatd
of the mobile home owners. Mr. Garwood said no. Mr. Lindstrom explained that the majority
of taxes paid are for Education and a very small amount of local taxes are for the Sheriff's
Office. Mr. Lindstrom said this problem is for the Sheriff's Department and the Commonwealth'
Attorney.
Mr. Henley felt the owner of the property should be asked for help. Dr. Iachetta said
the owner has the legal authority to ask the Sheriff to do what Mr. Garwood is asking the
Board. Mr. Agnor asked Mr. Garwood if he had talked to the Sheriff about these problems.
Mr. Garwood said no. Mr. Agnor said he would contact the Sheriff in the morning and then
contact Mr. Garwood.
