Sheriff says gratuities stopped
Staff Writer
Gifts and cut-rate charges for services given to Douglas County Sheriff Department's officers have been stopped, Sheriff Rex Johnson said Monday.

Johnson was responding to charges made last week by James Huskey, Democratic candidate for sheriff against Johnson. Johnson said officers in his department, had been ordered the years ago to stop acquiring gratitude under threat of disciplinary action.
Gene Doane, a Lawrence insurance agent and the only professional bondman in Lawrence, openly acknowledged giving gifts to sheriff's officers but denied any attempt to influence the officers through the gifts.
HUSKEY ALSO charged that sheiff's officers often didn't tell prisoners of alternatives to surety bonds, bonds paid by the agency, for a percentage of the amount of the bond.
Huskey said that Doane had tried to influence the officers through the gifts.
The other three types of bonds—cash bonds paid by the prisoner, property bonds, in which a property owner may sign for the prisoner, and personal recognition bonds, in which the prisoner is released with his wife. The judge in court —weren't always explained fully to prisoners, enabling Doane to get the surety bond business, Huskey charged.
DOANE SAID that he usually sent turkeys and fruit baskets to members of the

police and sheriff's departments at Christmas.
He said that he had given gifts to almost everyone in the police and sheriff's departments, including Huskey, because they were his friends and had been giving inactive gift to him information about whether a person was eligible for a surety bond.

his friend.
Johnson said each prisoner filled out a form to determine whether he was eligible for parole.
The forms are given to the district court judge, who determines the amount of the bond and whether the prisoner is eligible for a personal reconciliance bond.
The sheriff's department began giving the forms to the prisoners within the past year and a half, Johnson said, almost two years after Huskey left the police force.
"AS FAR AS my officers are concerned,
I'm sick of accusations," Johnson said.
Huskey also had said that the weak administrations of the sheriff's and Lawrence police departments had allowed the officers to walk into your home, for things you and I would be put in jail.**
Huskey said he had witnessed several such actions while he was a policemen in the Bronx. "I was very shocked," he

"（The administration) made the rest of the men bear the scrufity of the public. It reflects on the whole department," Huskey said.

He said that on one occasion, two police officers were found guilty of taking a shotgun and a leather coat—a misappropriation—and had received no disciplinary action.

"At the time we were doing it, so was everyone else. Once it got started, it was hard to figure out."
She said the gratuities were stopped by Stanwick about three years ago.
Several businessmen who Huskey said gave gratuities to police and anoffit's officers either denied the allegations or said the practice had been discontinued.

BOB KAU7ZMAN, regional supervisor for Country MACHEN restaurants, said that he had never given gratuities to officers, but would like to.
