In the original story, it was stated that there was no problem with others riding in the vehicle. My question is this: if he was on duty, what was his wife doing with him? Was she a prisoner being transported? If not, she had no business being in the vehicle.

Secondly, if there is no policy against her being there, why is he now being demoted - is it because she shouldn't have been in the car, or is Sheriff Ingram backtracking to cover up any embarrassment to the department? Just asking.
