An Ohio sheriff’s patrol commander has apologized for posting on Facebook that he wouldn't help Democrats and would require proof of who a person voted for before providing aid.

Lt. John Rodgers, a 20-year sheriff’s veteran in Clark County, where Springfield is the county seat, made the statements in several posts on Facebook, WHIO-TV reported. In one post, he reportedly wrote: “I am sorry. If you support the Democrat Party I will not help you.” Another said: “The problem is that I know which of you supports the Democratic Party and I will not help you survive the end of days.”

The sheriff’s office said Rodgers, who has commanded the department’s road patrol, would remain on duty, with a written reprimand for violating the department’s social media policy.

    I’ve been delirious on more drugs than I care to count, and I didn’t suddenly become someone I’m not.

    That said, when I thought sleep medication I figured something over the counter and Ambien didn’t cross my mind. People do get quite loopy on it
