According to a report in the Springfield News-Sun, John Rodgers, a lieutenant with the Clark County Sheriff's Office, posted on Facebook that he wanted evidence of who someone voted for before helping them and that he would not help Democrats.

Rodgers has since deleted his Facebook account.

This newspaper's Statehouse office requested Rodgers' personnel file and comment from the sheriff's office but did not receive a response before publication.

Rodgers told the Springfield News-Sun that he takes medication to help him sleep, which causes him to make “extraordinary phone calls, text messages and statements.”
