Culpeper County Sheriff Scott Jenkins is facing the potential of years in federal prison after being indicted for allegedly taking bribes for auxiliary deputy badges. Now there are concerns about how the department tracks any weapons issued to volunteer officers after Investigative Reporter Ted Oberg and the News4 I-Team discovered a high-powered gun owned by Culpeper County ended up 1,200 miles away.

It’s a rifle , no more dangerous than any other , just because something’s “tactical” doesn’t instantly mean it’s more dangerous

He a pretty boy prolly slicks his hair back blacked out sunnies hangs that crppy gun around his shoulders like it makes him more knowledgeable experienced – he'd be fully vain
556 is not high power. Clueless fear mongering.
It's unaccounted for.
With taxpayer dollars.
That's unacceptable.
The SPLG calls anyone racist they don't agree with…and a older news reports says they hide million in a Cayman Bank..
Channel 4, you should investigate how Obama's chef died with the same zeal… oh, that's right, you're leftards and that will never happen. 😂😂
They probably sold it at a auction or black market
The southern poverty law center is anti american. Leftist/globalist scum
Anyone who stands against the left is labeled a hate group
A duelly sworn commissioned peace officer is still a duelly sworn peace officer within the United States.
A $3,000 tactical weapon to a wannabe cop
Virginia got some redneck police
I worry more about the false narrative from the news station than the Sheriff having a gun. News 4 has an assault station.
No records mean the gun was headed for a cartel in Mexico for money and or drugs we can assume.
All in all the 5.56 Nato /.223 Remington is not that powerful of a round. Yes, it's a medium high velocity .22 caliber round but not that powerful when compared to other common hunting rounds such as the century + old .30-'06 Springfield. Or many newer hunting rounds such as the 7mm Remington Magnum. These are powerful rounds able to kill elephants. I have never heard of any anyone going to Africa with a puny 5.56/.223 to hunt dangerous game with. The petite 5.56/.223 was designed for a smaller rifle that the USA's smaller statured allies, re, South Korea and South Vietnam, could easily carry along with plenty of extra ammo.
