Candidate for Chief Deputy Sheriff Misused Force, Documents Show

Documents released by the Cobb County Democratic Committee reveal that Michael Dondelinger, a candidate for Chief Deputy Sheriff, was investigated multiple times for misuse of force during his tenure as a sergeant in the Cobb Sheriff’s Office. Incidents include authorizing force as punishment, striking an inmate, and drawing a gun on civilians. Despite these past issues, Republican candidate David Cavender, who selected Dondelinger as his chief deputy, defends him, citing the incidents as nearly two decades old and asserting that Dondelinger has since learned his lesson. The revelations have intensified the sheriff race, with accusations exchanged between Cavender and Democratic Sheriff Craig Owens. Cavender argues that Owens was aware of Dondelinger's past when promoting him to captain, while Owens criticizes the timing of these disclosures. The race has become contentious, with both sides leveraging past incidents to sway voters ahead of the election.
