## Resource

Sheriff Adam King faces trial this Monday in Johnson County on charges of retaliation, perjury, and abuse of power after allegedly targeting a female employee who reported sexual harassment — including threats, demands to disrobe, and attempts to intimidate her and whistleblowers. The case, which escalated from his August arrest to a grand jury indictment, now includes the dramatic twist that his own Chief Deputy, James Saulter — who was fired in May for reporting misconduct — was poised to testify against him. With jury selection set to begin, this high-stakes trial could reshape accountability in local law enforcement. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
