This is an update on the Montgomery County Sheriff Robert Dierks case. According to an affidavit released Thursday (Mar. 14), Dierks tried unsuccessfully to interfere in the drunken driving arrest of his girlfriend. The charging documents reveals that Sheriff Dierks told a special agent of the KBI that she broke up with him because she “ruined her life by not helping her out of the DUI.

Deputy Ian Hurst pulled over the woman in Jan. 2018 in a rural area. Deputy Hurst said she refused a field sobriety test and told him to call “Bobby” because she was his girlfriend. She called him herself and handed the phone to Hurst who explained to Dierks that her erratic driving was reported by someone who saw her almost hit something. Dierks was on his way to pick her up, but Hurst took her to jail before he got there. Dierks was surprised at Hurst who responded, “Sir, to be honest, if the roles were reversed, I would not be asking you to do this.”

Earlier this week, Dierks made a statement to KGGF that he has nothing to hide and is why he broke the story to Montgomery County Chronicle in Feb. Dierks was charged with two misdemeanors including inteference with a law enforcement officer and witness intimidation. KGGF will continue to keep you posted.
