Former Erie County Sheriff's Deputy Justin Smith (image via Erie County Sheriff on Facebook).
A sheriff's deputy in Sandusky, Ohio was given two choices when he was discovered to have used racial slurs against a local attorney -- resign, or be fired.
According to internal documents obtained by Fox 8 Cleveland, Erie County Sheriff's Deputy Justin Smith chose the former after he went on a drunken rant against a black Sandusky attorney.
At a conference Smith attended with fellow officers, the 13-year department veteran used the slur to describe the lawyer and then vomited on the table, causing his coworkers to take him back to his hotel room.
