Deputy Price (Coles Co.) Gets 6 Months Suspension For DUI –

COLES CO. (ECWd) –
Coles County Deputy Joe Price received 6 calendar months of unpaid suspension as a result of a recent DUI. The Court ordered other items that can be seen in the jg-tc.com article.
What makes this interesting to us is that Sheriff Cox, candidate for the 110th Representative District, had indicated to the press that he would not disclose the length of the suspension.
I had to get that information through a Freedom Of Information Act request, and it can be seen below…he should have been fired!
Why does it take a FOIA request to get this information when it should have been revealed.
