The following was posted on the Macon County Sheriff's Office Facebook Nov 22, 2021
MCSO & SBI Investigation into allegations made against MCSO employee ends with MCSO filing criminal charges & termination of employment. District Attorney Ashley Welch and SBI assisted at the request of Sheriff Holland.
In addition on 11/23/21… Sheriff Holland has added that Investigators are aware of comments being made on social media pertaining to this case but as of this moment we have not been contacted by any witnesses or any other potential victims as speculated on social media. As with any case we would encourage anyone with information to contact us and we would follow up with that information. Mr. Sanchez is now a former employee and unfortunately there are laws that prohibit me from sharing any information we might have related to any complaints about him while employed. However, in fairness to him and the staff at the MCSO as well as our citizens, I will say I have not had any complaints made against Mr. Sanchez that accuses him of any illegal behavior or it would have been addressed. I also am aware of the accusations being made on social media and again I would encourage those who have information of any kind to come forward and allow investigators to do their job.
*Editor's Note: A criminal charge is an accusation, by law, a person accused of a crime is innocent until proven in a court of law.
