 The sheriff in Butler County, Pennsylvania, says his department is being subjected to unfair criticism in the wake of the attempt on former President Trump's life. My office staff is receiving phone calls cussing and swearing that we should have been able to stop this. Boy, do I wish we could have. Butler County Sheriff Michael Sloop. Our office is being blamed for a lot of things that were not under our control. And it's not fair. My staff is hearing people swearing at him. Sheriff Sloop says his deputies did their job.
