JACKSON NEWS
JACKSON, MI - Jackson Mayor Derek Dobies has formally asked the Michigan Civil Rights Commission to investigate claims of discrimination from Jackson County Sheriff Steven Rand.
Dobies sent a two-page letter and 189 pages of media coverage to Agustin Arbulu, Michigan Department of Civil Rights director, on Monday, March 26, and said he spoke with him over the phone.
Dobies is unsure if the topic will be discussed at the MCRC March 26 meeting in Detroit.
The commission investigates alleged discrimination in the state, as laid out in the Michigan Constitution.
A federal lawsuit alleges Rand is a "multifaceted bigot" whose derogatory comments have targeted women, blacks, the disabled, the LGBT community and other groups.
Audio tapes released by a lieutenant suing Jackson County and the sheriff show Rand referred to a female judge as a 'scatter-brained c---,' and that he'd like to make a pornographic film in which he kills a courthouse employee while having sex with her. The sheriff has acknowledged it is his voice on the tapes.

I am currently coordinating with legal counsel to provide verified documentation to the Michigan Civil Rights Commission. Our goal is to ensure this petition remains part of the formal record as the investigation into these allegations proceeds.

Watch his statement. He looks like he is reading from a script off of his computer. He is just doing damage control. He is obviously a bully. There is no room for someone of his temperament in such a position.
There is just no excuse for his actions being in a leadership role and i bet it would still be going on if he wasnt caught he needs to go
This isnt the kind of role model i want my children to become... Time to make a change.
Absolutely he needs to go. There are just higher standards expected out of the role of sheriff. He has not displayed the level of integrity to hold this position. He has lost the trust of the position. He needs to go.
To bad he’s all about the retirement. A real person would have admitted to their wrong doings being we’ve heard it right from the horses mouth. Yet, he wants that retirement he clearly DOESNT deserve!
Justice is fair!

Sheriff Rand is not good for Jackson. His words and actions show a misogynistic and racist temperament that does not reflect the will of the people!
