How dare ex-deputy Derrick Yancey, turn himself in to the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department. Didn’t he realize he was stealing the thunder from TeBo?
It seems once the indictment was handed down by the Grand Jury, word was delivered to the DeKalb police detectives handling the case, and also delivered to the sheriff’s department.
Sheriff Tom Brown, within his sworn duties as sheriff, and in the spirit of “keeping his house in order” made preparations to arrest Derrick Yancey. Sheriff Brown was going to use his fugitive squad with the help of the U.S. Marshal’s Office (which includes a DeKalb police officer outsourced to them) with making the physical arrest of Yancey. Terrell was informed of this and when he learned the police department was not invited, to quote TeBo, “Terrell had a tirade”.
It is reported Terrible Terrell called the U.S. Marshal's office demanding they not help the sheriff's department with the arrest. When they refused, Bolton became so upset, he ordered the police detective assigned to the Marshal’s Office removed from that duty and re-assigned to the police department.
This mirrors Bolton’s behavior in Dallas as described in a paragraph from the letter written to Bolton’s attorney in Dallas when he was fired: “Management defended Chief Bolton during his dispute with the FBI over the allocation of resources. There was controversy regarding lack of cooperation between the FBI and the City of Dallas. Charles Daniels, Assistant City Manager and the City Manager met privately with the FBI to mend fences. Former Mayor Ron Kirk also assisted. Chief Bolton was not requested to assist or apologize. The City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and Mayor ate the "humble pie." (NBCi, September 2, 2003)
He thinks the police department should have all the credit with the arrest. It isn’t good enough that the fine detectives of the police department worked tirelessly on this delicate case and solved it. Bolton once again has shown his unwillingness to co-operate with other departments, no matter a county department, a member of the B.O.C. (remember Terrell’s tirade with Commissioner Rader?) or an entity of the U.S. Government. These entities are needed for effective law enforcement.
Of course Derrick Yancey turned himself in to authorities before Bolton could muster up the media and have Yancey arrested “live and in color” C.O.P.S. style, with Bolton in his 3rd world BDU uniform leading the charge.
Now because of all of this, every Major Crimes (that’s Homicide and Robbery, folks) detective must submit a request through Assistant Chief Anderson and have approval before they discuss any case, be it past or present, with the District Attorney’s office. Who do these people think they are? Who is Anderson to judge and dictate? Bolton’s actions have the strong possibly of causing irreparable damage between the D.A.’s office and the police department. Hopefully, the rank and file in the D.A.’s office sees TeBo for what he is.
Burrell Ellis, C.E.O elect, we hope you are aware of this man's actions. Everyday he increasingly demonstrates why he should be fired on January 1, 2009 if not before!

This will be the excuse that they use to demote Deputy Chief Burrows back to Captain. He can then promote one of the APD Majors- probably the one at East Precinct. We only have a few months left for the total destruction of this department. We can only wonder what is ahead for us.
Terrell Bolton is only out for Terrell Bolton and no one else. He does not care about this Department or working with any other Department in the County (Cities included) to achieve the overall goal of aggressive law enforcement. We are too busy riding the magic buses and going to Houston or Dallas instead of looking right in our own back yard to fix the problems.
I'm an old timer. we NEVER had these problems, we all worked together because we had to, we had no one else but us. Chief's worked together to achieve the common goal. That ended when Eddie Moody left. Now, no one talks, and at the Chief's meetings for the County once a month, no one from DeKalb shows up. What does that tell you?
Mr. Ellis, I wish you would go ahead and announce your choice for Police Chief now so Mr. Bolton knows that he can go apply somewhere else and maybe get the hell on. That would also prepare the Department for a new start at the new year. While you are at it, there are a few house cleaning issues in the Fire Department that need to be done also, like getting rid of the maniac fire chief.
TeBo backed off this idiotic policy this morning. I guess he figured out it is ILLEGAL to interfere with witnesses talking to prosecutors.
