DOTHAN - HOUSTON COUNTY:      The members of the Houston County Commission did not hire the new Dothan - Houston County Emergency Management Director until their only meeting in December 2016.


On December 29 the retirement of Steve Carlisle was effective. On January 1 the employment of Chris Judah began. The Houston County Commission made no arrangements for Emergency Management on December 30 and 31.


Last evening I, Rickey Stokes, notified the new Dothan - Houston County EMA Director that Houston County was under a "Tornado Warning". That is because the Houston County Commission made no provisions for Judah to get equipped and started before January 1.


I, Rickey Stokes, was the first at the Houston County Courthouse with Judah close behind. The Houston County Commission had made no arrangements for Judah to have a key fob to gain entry into the Houston County Courthouse. No keys to Emergency Management Office. No computer access. No access to the weather sirens.


Excuse me:  What is the name of the agency?  Dothan - Houston County EMERGENCY Management Agency.


I asked someone with over 33 years in law enforcement if any emergency he has responded to, did they ever make an appointment. He said no. I asked another one with 20 years experience if any emergency ever made an appointment. He said no.


Culver, Battles, Sinquefield, Shoupe, Harvey, this is EMERGENCY Management. No appointments. And each of you, most especially that lying Mark Culver, placed the lives of every person and guest in Dothan - Houston County at risk last evening. 


At no fault of Chris Judah, the new Dothan - Houston County Emergency Management Director, the sirens were not sounded until 20 minutes AFTER Houston County was placed under a Tornado WARNING. 


At no fault of Chris Judah was he not brought into Dothan - Houston County EMA before his start date.


That is 100% on Mark Culver, Jackie Battles, Doug Sinquefield, Brandon Shoupe and Curtis Harvey.


They were fortunate no one was injured or killed. Because they could have faced criminal charges and civil liability for their Willful Neglect of Duty.


Judah will not be caught like this again. He will be prepared and get the office the Houston County Commission has allowed to be in shambles in shape. The Emergency Management Office will be pro active and functional under Judah.


But I hope he realizes at least four of the 5 Houston County Commissioners are poor excuses for leaders. And his success will be on not listening to them. Also word to the wise about conversations with Mark Culver, follow up with a memo this is what we discussed on this date and outline the discussion. Send a copy to Culver and the commissioners and place one in your file. Culver is such a liar he gets amnesia very quickly.


If Culver tells you it is raining, or Battles or Sinquefield tell you it is raining, walk outside and feel the rain drops.


As Jackie Battles has referred to me as "a broken record" and a "dumb a-- bondsman", I have sounded the warning many times about emergencies. And I have been a broken record. Well Jackie, when dealing with dimwit’s such as yourself and comrades, you have to be a broken record.


Jackie, I am a broken record because you and comrades are to lamebrain to understand.
