Morgan vs. McNesby, Year 2

   April 26, 2011

This is my last breakdown of the Uniform Crime Report. I was curious how Sheriff David Morgan’s second year compares with Sheriff Ron McNesby’s second year. Morgan dealt with a more violent crime trend – 236 of the most violent crimes reported. He had 141 fewer arrests of those crimes than McNesby did.

McNesby – 2002
Morgan – 2010
