Bob Fernandez Assertion

On WKTV False, DA Says

Otsego County District Attorney John Muehl said assertions by sheriff candidate Bob Fernandez about the Ros Devlin case are false,  according to reports by WKTV Utica last night.  Earlier in the week, NewsChannel 2 reported Fernandez said Muehl told him he had told Sheriff Richard J. Devlin, who is running for reelection, that if he fired his prison guard son, no charges would be brought against the younger man on allegations regarding a threatening incident in the county jail.  Last night, Muehl told the TV station, “I never said anything like that to the sheriff, nor did I ever tell Bob Fernandez that I said anything like that to the sheriff. I take offense because it makes it sound like I was willing to do a favor for the sheriff if he just got rid of his son. So, if you get rid of your son I won’t press charges. That’s not how things work.”    The TV station said Fernandez sticks by his original assertion.
