Local activist praises sheriff’s work, raises alarm about monitoring of people on ankle monitors
Summary
Samuel Hall, founder of Patriots for American Militia, praised Sheriff Skinner’s anti‑predator work and raised concerns about supervising roughly 300 individuals on ankle monitors, urging the county to address staffing and monitoring gaps.
Samuel Hall, who identified himself as the founder and president of Patriots for American Militia, spoke during the public‑comment period to commend the sheriff’s office for work on predator investigations and to press the county on supervision of individuals on ankle monitors.
Hall said his organization has worked at the border and praised local law‑enforcement leadership, then turned to county concerns: he said roughly 300 ankle monitors are in use and expressed alarm that so many monitored individuals receive limited officer oversight. He called the allocation of insufficient officers to monitor these devices “absolutely unacceptable” and urged the court to demand corrective action from county leadership.
The judge thanked Hall for his comments and the court moved to the next speaker; the transcript does not show a county response to his specific request during the meeting.
