Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden uses racially offensive language, fires longtime staff for little or no reason, delays firearm permits and promotes himself and his own interests rather than his staff.
Mecklenberg County is the largest county in North or South Carolina. It has more than 1 million residents, measures 546 square miles and has six townships including Charlotte, the 17th largest city in the country.
With nearly 1,100 employees, McFadden runs the largest law enforcement agency in either Carolina.
McFadden recently called one of his white deputies a “cracker” and a black deputy the N-word.
