QUINCY, Fla. (WTXL)--Residents of Gadsden County came together in solidarity to support Sheriff Morris Young, who is accused of releasing inmates on furlough without approval.
Supporters gathered at the Gadsden County Courthouse Saturday to pray for Sheriff Young and the community.
The community showed their support for law enforcement, despite allegations that the sheriff violated protocol.
Event attendees, like Reverend Calving Griffin, say the rally shows that the community is behind its fellow officers.
"I think its very important for the community to come together to show what they think of Sheriff Young and it shows how they love him, how they support them and how they can give back to him as hes giving to them," said Griffin.
The community accredits Young for reducing crime in Gadsden County and addressing issues of overcrowding in local jails.
