Official Statement

Kimble resigned rather than be disciplined by the Wood County Sheriff after admitting dishonesty during an internal investigation, according to records in his personnel file.

In March 2016, Kimble was accused of failing to comply with code of conduct policies including untruthfulness and unsupportive behavior toward other deputies. He was allegedly spreading rumors about other deputies being caught in a compromising situation by a Bowling Green police officer.

The investigation into Kimble started in May 2016. The administrative charges against him were sustained, stating “Sgt. Kimble made the decision to be dishonest on four separate occasions during an internal investigation,” according to the documents in his file. He resigned from the Wood County Sheriff’s Office on May 8, 2016.

Kimble, village law director Susan Anderson and village Mayor Jessica Dress did not respond to questions about the Brady list.
