Blacksburg Councilman John Bush said he’s surprised at a response he received from Montgomery County Sheriff Hank Partin on this question: Did any county deputies take part in the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6?
Following an additional question on the subject from Blacksburg Mayor Leslie Hager-Smith, Partin on Jan. 21 wrote: “Aside from Bush and yourself we have received no other inquiries regarding this matter. I am not aware of any one from our organization who was either involved with the events on January 06 or in D.C.
