Suspended Robeson Co. deputy says in retirement letter he served county with "integrity and dignity"
News13 has obtained a retirement letter and other documents for two Robeson County deputies who were previously suspended.
On January 9, Sheriff Wilkins received a retirement letter from Major Anthony Thompson. In the letter, Thompson said he served with the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office for 34.5 years and that he served with "integrity and dignity."

Your continued employment within the Sheriff's Office would not be consistent with office policy or the expected standard of conduct," Sheriff Wilkins said in the letter. "Therefore, effective immediately, your services with the Robeson County Sheriff's Office are no longer needed."
