News Clayton Co. Sheriff Victor Hill selling home
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Mon, Aug 25, 2008 at 9:59 PM
Megan Matteucci of the AJC reports that Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill, everyone's favorite lawman, has put his four-bedroom ranch home on the market for nearly $300,000. He bought the joint for $240,000 three years ago. Perhaps the real estate market is in shambles everywhere but Riverdale. Who knew?
Hill may have good reason to leave the embattled county. The controversial sheriff had a knack for attracting lawsuits as well as getting the attention of the media. The New York Times wrote about his memorable first day in office that included snipers dispatched to rooftops to ensure no shenanigans took place when he unceremoniously fired 23 employees. He lost any chance he had to continue as sheriff on Aug. 5, when Kem Kimbrough bested him in the county's Democratic runoff for the office.

There will come a time when you wished he would have stayed. Clayton County isn't worthy of someone like Victor who I feel made it comfortable for me to live here. I guess until your children, grandchildren get into trouble you will appreciate discipline from a source that works.
