You Paid for It: Deputy Racks Up OT at Tiger Games

How would you like to get paid to travel with the Memphis Tigers - go to their home and away games, even their practices? One Shelby County employee is doing just that, and you paid for it. ABC 24's Senior Investigator Jeni Diprizio digs into one deputy's sweet deal.

It's pretty amazing to me that Ms. Diprizio attacks an officer of the Shelby County Sheriff's department that is doing a job that he is assigned to do by his superior officers. If you watch 24 Ms. Diprizio showed an interview that she had with the Director of the UofM Police Dept, but failed to show the entire interview, why not??????? Why doesn't she tell about the UofM officer that lives across the street from her that has been on leave since shoulder surgery two years ago,and is able to be on Ms. Diprizio's pontoon boat at the river and is able to hang Christmas lights on her house, and still draws a salary from the UofM. Ms. Diprizio needs to ask the question why there is security for every major college sport by the Tennessee Highway Patrol and the universities don't cover this expense, the state of Tennessee covers that expense. Ms. Diprizio you need to quit attacking the one thing that draws revenue into the City of Memphis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I was a citizen of Memphis I would never support a news station that constantly bashes Memphis, I would be trying to shut it down.

Heidi, what do "they need security" for? And Wow! Does the Sheriff Oldham sound arrogant about spending poor taxpayers' money any way he sees fit!
