First of all, props to @RichPhelps for the excellent detective work.
I am a journalist who has to work with the word "alleged."
This is allegedly Jay Baker's page. I can't say for sure it is, but inspired by Rich, I did a little digging myself.

The Jay Baker page that Rich found appears to have been deleted.
So I looked for the person who he tagged in the post, and as of a little while ago, William Rownd's page was still active.

If you look at the screenshot I made, William Rownd is a former deputy from the same sheriff's department.
Wow. What a coincidence.
Wow. What a coincidence.
it would be awful of someone contacted shopify to complain. AWFUL IIF Y'ALL REACH OUT TO SHOPIFY TO COMPLAIN
I called the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office to see if there is a statement, but because Jay Baker is actually their PIO, I was transferred to his line, which went to voicemail.
Because, of course.
Because, of course.
UPDATE: Deadline Apparel, the company owned by a former deputy of the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office that put out those anti-Asian Covid shirts that Jay Baker so proudly advertised?
