The Ugly Truth About DONALD HIPP

Jasper County Sheriff A Job Only For Those With Integrity

Buddha once said, “Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.” Honesty is extremely important if not the most essential character trait that a person who wishes to hold a leadership position in our community should possess. Honesty produces trust, and trust is priceless.

One of this year’s candidates for the Jasper County Sheriff election is now in the hot seat. Read on as we study the evidence and find out if there is any truth to the stones thrown at Deputy Donald Hipp.

Donald Hipp Allowed Gross Negligence in His Position

The Allegation

Donald Hipp, along with his subordinates, is allegedly mishandling evidence, which is why the Jasper County Police Department has a lot of open cases. Needless to say, this gross negligence greatly impacts the lives of both the victim and the accused.

The Facts

Hipp was head of the Criminal Investigations Division. He was in charge of supervising the people in his team and was responsible for every evidence collected. He alone holds the key that can access the evidence lockers.

The incoming sheriff at that time found the evidence in complete disarray. There was absolutely no system for handling, labeling, and tracking any of the evidence. Hundreds of items of evidence were not stored properly. Some were left unsecured in offices, while others were found in a box in a corner.

Likewise, there wasn't any information as to where the evidence came from and how it came to be in the possession of Hipp’s division. Hundreds of drugs and guns were found in the evidence locker, which had no tags.

Worse, there were evidence bags that were supposed to contain money, but the money was missing, and there was no way of tracking it at all.

The Resolution

The new sheriff took action right away. He gathered all the scattered pieces of evidence and made sure they were labeled and documented. He returned several hundred guns to their rightful owners. In addition, he took all the guns they were able to seize and traded them in for new equipment for the deputies at no cost to the taxpayers of Jasper County.
