"As I have always said, I am 100 percent responsible for actions of the employees of the sheriff's office, and strive to do a thorough background check on all employees before hiring," Hedgecock said in the post. "I apologize for the action of this employee and will always be transparent on actions of the sheriff's office. As I have said the sheriff's office belongs to the people of Pushmataha County and I assure you, as in the past, the employee will be held accountable for their actions by the court."
