In an already crowded Democratic field, this should be interesting. What qualifications does he have? I know he went to the Sam Graves school of how to get along with female employees, but what else does he bring?
He was told to resign or be fired because of his unwanted harrassment of female empoloyees. That’s the crap that pisses me off. He should have been charged or fired for his conduct, now the idiot is running for sheriff. I’m sure he will never tell the truth about his leaving ccso.
Now this is a riot!!!! I can not believe he is actually going to embarass himself by running for Sheriff. Rob Foster is a legend in his own mind. This is going to take the heat off Fred Williams for a while.
Uh…..you have got to be kidding, right? This brings the Charles County Sheriff’s race to a new low. This County has always been a two man race, usually between people that have some experience and credibility. Now this! What are we up to now, five candidates, half with little to no experience wanting to run a 500 person Agency with a 65 million dollar budget. God help us if the voters in this County don’t pay attention and vote based on petty reasons and not due to an informed and educated decision.

This may come as a shock, but I’m actually in agreement with Jones on this one.
{Except for the Fred Williams wise-crack}.
I nearly fell off my chair when I read this…lol, but then again if “DUBYA”
{a drunk driving draft dodger}could be President for 8 years, anything is possible…
Now you we are on to something if me and Doc agree. This is one candidate that I think you will see lots of people going public with their stories. My opinion, this guy is a pervert.
Why the hell didn’t ccso, under davis, fire him or charge him? That would ensure he could never run for sheriff.
You’re a little bit harsh there Simon ‘Says’..lol Well I guess the reason that they
did not fire ‘him’ was for the same reason that they didn’t fire Graves,Rackey and a few
others.
Who was the guy {Capt.} that headed up the Records Section and screwed up everything
to the point of even violating federal laws. He was also given the option of resigning
as well, I think. I guess the point is, that everyone screws up at some point in their
life, some worst than others.
Let me get this straight. Not criminally charging these guys resulted in at least one becoming a commissioner and another possibly though highly unlikely becoming sheriff? Shame on those responsible. I would question the judgment of any woman who votes for either of those candidates.

I guess that would have been the responsibility of the Commander of Internal Affairs, oh wait! That was Dave Williams!
Ten Bears, that’s ridiculous. Dave Williams as the Commander of Internal Affairs was to
‘oversee’ investigations conducted by Internal Affairs. Once an investigation was complete
the Commander of Internal Affairs would then forward the findings to the ‘Sheriff’ for
‘disposition’.
The Sheriff makes the final call/disposition, not the Commander of Internal Affairs.

Kenton, I don’t believe Foster did anything so egregious that he should have been fired.
His problem was that he was ‘overly flirty’, which made some female employees very
uncomfortable. It was also just downright unprofessional.
Sorry, your wrong. I was very involved in that investigation, witness some of the harrassment, and knew the victim and her feelings of fear and intimidation from that idiot. So yes in my opinion he should have been fired. Davis and company had no stomach for that kind of courage.
And to be completely honest someone like him and sammy who do crap like that are in my opionion suffering from severe stupidity and poor judgement and no honor!

Who put a bee under your bonnet Julia ‘Child”? lol The point that you are missing
is that what these guys did, did not rise to the level of criminality. I think we
should also remember that these ‘unwanted advances’ or what ever you want to call
them occurred some 15 or more years ago.
To belittle the stupid (criminal ) behavior of sexually harrassing a woman in any way is wrong and truly sounds like your making excuses for wrong behavior.

Doc, I respectfully disagree. As a Captain in that agency, Mr. Williams was a member of the executive command staff. He was not merely a rubber stamp. The commander of IA makes recommendations to the chief on discipline matters, the Chief then approves/disapproves the recommendation.
And, back to Mr. Foster, I have spoken with many female members of the school system who had to put up with him when he was working in the juvenile section. They were very uncomfortable working around him and I have heard from more than one that a principal made a complaint on behalf of the teaching staff about Fosters behavior. All the sheriff did was move him to another school.
Yes..it’s the same Robert Foster, but in his defense ‘the jackass’ did pull a
knife on him.
but what was Foster doing following this guy to his house, off duty, out of uniform and in his personal car?
Well…actually Foster was in the right. Let me give you an example. An off duty officer
sees a drunk driving maniac swerving all over the road. What should the off duty officer do?
He should try and follow the car, get the tag number and a description of the driver in
order to relay the information to the Station.
From what I understand, in Fosters case the guy was a ‘road raging’ maniac who was
driving people off of the road. The guy could have just as well been as drunk as a skunk.
Foster had no way of knowing.
The real question is, why was RAMBO driving around with a huge ‘hunting knife’ under his
car seat and what made him think that he had the right to pull it on someone and go
NINJA style.
This guy was driving around like he owned the roads. Big tough guy with a knife.
He gets no sympathy from me. I do feel some sympathy for his widow, but then again
she knew he was a knife toting bully when she married him.
