local elected public officials like, @CASenCaballero, @DennisDonohueD4 , former Sheriff Mike Kanalakis, former and since fired Sheriff Commander Mike Richards, former sheriff Commander Fred Garcia (who ran for sheriff).

John Phillips. Current @MCoSheriff @SheriffBernal (pictured here in an undated photo with Drew)

And who can forget former corrupt @SalinasPD chief @Kelly_McMillin and now deceased Mayor Joe Gunter, the bumpkins of Cannery Row, or as some call them, Mickey Mouse Mobsters - they welcomed what should normally be unrelenting scrutiny of a highly suspicious act by Brown -
