HAMILTON, OH – After the FBI Director Christopher Wray warned of a possible terrorist attack in the United States, Butler County (Ohio) Sheriff Richard Jones decided he was going to be proactive in how his agency arms and trains his deputies, Fox-19 in Cincinnati reports. 

Jones had just returned from the National Sheriff’s Association’s winter conference in Washington, D.C., where Wray spoke to the group and led him to be convinced that not only was a terrorist attack on the homeland possible, but it was imminent. 

“We have to train as though the military is not coming to help us. The National Guard is not coming to help us. Everybody is on their own. I want the public to know you are in a terrible spot right now. Pay attention to what you see, where you see it, watch people. There are people here who don’t like us.” 

Answering a question about whether he might be encouraging discrimination and profiling of foreigners by demanding closed borders, acting as “Doomsday Jones,” the sheriff dismissed that narrative. 

“You don’t have to believe me at all. You don’t have to be trained in firearms. When we call you, you can go hide in your basement. Build a safe room. Good luck to you. I give you the information. If you don’t like what I say, don’t vote for me. Fire me. Don’t elect me. But I’ve been elected five times. I am concerned with my country and the people who are here legally.”
