Sheriff vs. Major: A DUI Drama Unfolds in Pierce County

In an intense and riveting sit-down on “The Gee and Ursula Show,” Pierce County Sheriff Keith Swank addressed the fallout from Major Chadwick Dickerson’s recent arrest on DUI charges. The incident has set off a cascade of questions, especially surrounding the discrepancies in whether Dickerson showed signs of impairment at the scene of his accident. Swank, in a show of loyalty, articulated a rather colorful picture of the chaos at the scene—three ambulances arrived, transporting victims but somehow leaving behind the injured major without an ambulance to take him in. You have to wonder, is this some kind of law enforcement soap opera?

Swank didn’t shy away from his own past, either. He candidly compared Dickerson’s predicament to his own DUI arrest a remarkable 18 years ago, effectively saying, “I was only parked!” With his history in the spotlight, the sheriff remains outspoken about how investigations should be handled. And let’s be honest, this whole situation has all the dramatic flair of a prime-time series unfolding in real life—one just can’t help but watch and see how it all plays out.

The discussion took an even juicier turn as Swank ventured into his social media habits and controversial views on everything from immigration enforcement to crime statistics. With each revelation, the tension peaked—Swank hinted about a potential rivalry with the Washington State Patrol, making it all very “who’s-the-better-cop” entertaining. What’s next? A reality show featuring sheriff disputes over a game of poker?

As this drama unfolds, it raises significant questions about accountability and trust in our law enforcement agencies. If police can’t hold each other accountable, what does that mean for the public?
