This isn't the first time power has corrupted a good person. I remember the Ronald Hewett who was the youngest elected sheriff in the state of NC, the DARE officer who ran on the platform of cleaning up a corrupt Sheriff's office, the father who was so proud of his kids. I remember the Ronald Hewett who admitted to his own mistakes and short comings - the Ronald who was so well thought of, not just in Brunswick County, but across the state of NC. I am disappointed in him - and I think a lot of other people are too. But I'm not going to cast any stones at him or his family - because I know I'm not perfect and I do remember all the good he has done for Brunswick County. My prayers are with you and your family Ronald - I know this is a difficult time for you. I pray you can find the strength to find the good man that I know is still there.
