Glenn Maynor

Glenn Allen Maynor (born 1946) is an American retired law enforcement officer and politician who served as Sheriff of Robeson County, North Carolina from 1994 until 2004.

[6] During his long tenure as Sheriff of Robeson County, Hubert Stone provoked the ire of the Lumbee community.

Maynor challenged him in the Democratic primary in 1990,[7] declaring his intention to improve relations between the sheriff's office and the community.

[7] He subsequently won the November general election, securing most of the support of the Native American and black electorate to defeat Republican James Sanderson.

"[2] In June 1996 North Carolina Governor Jim Hunt appointed Maynor to a 21-person commission on racial and religious violence.

[14] In 2002 Robeson County District Attorney Johnson Britt requested that the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) open an inquiry into the sheriff's department after being told by an informant that two deputies had been involved in a home invasion.

[14] A total of 22 law enforcement officers were implicated in the investigation, including Maynor;[15] he was accused of lying to a federal grand jury about his knowledge of deputies selling counterfeit satellite television cards and additionally charged with using on-duty deputies to do his yardwork and work at a campaign fundraiser.

Responding to the scale of corruption within the sheriff's department during his tenure, Maynor said he had "dropped the ball" and that the problems arose from his lack of oversight, as he was attending to family health matters at the time.
