When Sheriff Jeremy Shipley with the Freestone County (TX) Sheriff's Office learned that a widely-circulated social media post claimed that one of his employees had scrawled a racial slur on a restaurant receipt, he conducted a thorough investigation.
Shipley met with the restaurant’s manager, whom he described as very cooperative, and reviewed surveillance video footage, compared the handwriting on the check to different sources, and then met with the waitress, according to KWTX-TV.
