Here is Par, “My Cowboy” via Char, in better days running the streets in his Jeep with the vanity lights installed and given to him by Jay Justice another favored felon. All it takes for a “get out of jail” card for Par is free breakfast, maybe free lunch, pink panties, a b.j. in 1978, or some jeep tweaking.
Poor Parnell doesn’t EVER go to work. Nope. Never. He does, however, dust himself off and run in front of the cameras wherever they are, hell, if Hewitt PD makes an arrest, you can bet Par will drag his ass out of the house for THAT, hell yeah. It’s all he’s got. Face it. Below is a reader rant that expresses the frustration of all of us.
What it doesn’t say is WHY THE HELL ISN’T ELLIS COUNTY DOING SOMETHING ABOUT PARNELL WORKING DEPUTIES AT HIS HOMEPLACE, HOW MUCH MORE EVIDENCE DO YOU GDMN NEED FOR CRYING OUT LOUD????

Stop Letting the McLennan County Sheriff’s Office Lie to Our Faces
I’m sick of it. Absolutely sick of it.
Every time something happens in McLennan County—anything remotely newsworthy—you can count on one thing: the Sheriff’s Department will come crawling out of the shadows to slap their badge on the story and pretend they saved the day.
And now they’ve done it again.
Let’s talk about 19-year-old Clayton Parum, a Downsville firefighter who was just in a serious rollover crash. According to actual journalism by KWTX, Clayton was heading home when he lost control near Robinson. His truck flipped into a ditch. He was injured, trapped, bleeding—and completely alone until a random Good Samaritan spotted him and called 911. That civilian made the first move. Not a deputy. Not the sheriff. A stranger.
Clayton says himself it took a terrifying 15 minutes before help got to him and he was finally pulled out. He was in shock, panicking, injured, yelling for help. This was a scary, painful, very real experience.
So, what does the McLennan County Sheriff’s Office do?
They rush out a press release dated July 2nd, boldly titled:
“MCSO Deputies Assist in Rescue of First Responder Following Single-Vehicle Crash.”
You’d think from reading it that deputies heroically discovered him, ran the rescue operation, coordinated the whole thing with precision, and personally carried Clayton out of the wreckage like it was a made-for-TV movie.
NOPE.
The truth? Their version conveniently leaves out the civilian who found him, completely ignores Clayton’s own words, and hijacks the narrative to make it sound like they were the ones who did something extraordinary.
Let’s be clear: the Sheriff’s Department may have shown up eventually, and maybe they helped on the edges. But the credit belongs to the person who called 911, the fire crews, the paramedics, and to Clayton himself—for surviving and staying strong in a terrifying moment.
You’d think an agency that demands “respect” would understand how offensive it is to steal credit from other first responders—especially from a young man who serves his community as a volunteer firefighter. But no, it’s all about polishing the badge, boosting the image, and feeding the ego of a department that’s more focused on PR stunts than public service.
This isn’t just about one press release. This is a pattern. It’s spin. It’s image control. It’s trying to distract us from what we all know: that McLennan County’s leadership—Parnell McNamara and his hand-picked buddies—are more interested in playing cowboy and covering for their failures than in telling the truth.
So, here’s my message to the Sheriff’s Office:
Stop lying. Stop twisting the facts. And stop taking credit for things you didn’t do. The public sees through it—and we’re not buying the smoke and mirrors anymore.
You want praise? Earn it.
Until then, we’ll keep calling it like we see it.
