The case of Sheriff Hanna in Sterling was pretty blatant abuse. He assumed that it would be his word against the victim’s, but couldn't explain why he took her to his home to question her, or how a developmentally disabled woman could make up such a convincing story.  From the Fort Morgan Times:

According to an arrest affidavit, the female inmate said the sheriff took her to his home and asked her if she wanted to earn $60, saying, "I just want sex."

Hanna admitted to officers that he took her to his home to talk to her about information she had about a crime and that he made a "poor decision" by doing so. He denies any further wrong doing

Poor decision…..ya think?

Another "sterling" role model for Mr. Mercer in his wannabe lawman gig.
