It's official! We are under the first "Sproles Watch" of the new year! (#SprolesWatch2026 - 1). Henry County, Indiana, Sheriff John M. Sproles once again looked at a bad situation and thought, "HOW CAN I MAKE THIS WORSE?" At 642 p.m. this evening (Tuesday, January 13, 2026), Sheriff Sproles recorded a six-minute, fifty-six-second video in which he outlined his "official statement" regarding the traffic stop his deputy conducted on Saturday, January 10, 2026. As is common for Sheriff Sproles, he always finds a way to make a bad situation worse by interjecting himself. He makes inappropriate comments and, again and again, proves he is not a true leader. Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey reviews the Sheriff's statement and offers his thoughts on the Sheriff's remarks. Does this help or hurt the situation, and what comes next? The problem with John Sproles is that one can never be too sure! #ThePoliticalSpotlight
