In this week's court proceedings in the trial of former Buncombe County Sheriff Bobby Medford, two other mountain Sheriffs have been implicated.

On Wednesday, Prosecutors argued for the admission of a surveillance tape that showed current Rutherford County Sheriff Jack Conner asking for "the same deal my predecessor got." Conner was wearing a wire for Federal Agents. In the tape the video poker operator claims to have made payouts to the former Sheriff.

On Thursday, News 13 spoke with two former Sheriffs, Philip Byers and Dan Goode of Rutherford County. Both say they never got money from video poker operators. "I want my name cleared. I'll sit down with us attorneys, agents." explains Byers, "I've got records about what we did with poker machines and what we did to destroy them."

News 13 spoke with former Sheriff Dan Goode by phone. He also says Federal Agents have not talked to him about the investigation.
