Joey Burch - Citizen of the Year

Joey Burch is the owner of a local book store that specializes in rare books. During the 2010 holiday season, he was approached by an individual who wanted to sell a very rare book written by Benjamin Franklin in 1764. The man wanted $3,000 for the book. The actual value of the book was approximately $27,000, so the store owner became immediately suspicious. Mr. Burch told the man that he would have to come back the next day because he didn’t have enough cash on hand for the book. After the seller left, Mr. Burch contacted a TCSO deputy and asked the deputy to investigate the suspect when he returned to the book store. The following day, several Metro Drug Task Force investigators were placed inside and outside the store, in plain clothes and in undercover vehicles. After the nervous suspect’s vehicle had circled the store several times, the investigators conducted a traffic stop and found other rare books, along with bundles of stolen U.S. Postal Service mail and drugs. A records check identified this individual as an ex-convict, with six outstanding warrants. The efforts put forth by Mr. Joey Burch in the pursuit of justice attributed to the arrest and conviction of a career criminal. His willingness to take preventive measures enabled the Sheriff’s office to better protect and serve our community.
