Jennifer Riem Interview!

Ian Murray tells us his story and how he became an advocate!In late 2022, along with his attorney, Ian Murray reached a settlement with the Jacksonville (Florida) Sheriff's Office (JSO) who had falsely arrested him. Ian's name has been cleared legally and it has been shown that that there was no wrongdoing on his part.Ian is a U.S. military veteran who served our country in Afghanistan in 2017 and in April 2024 returned from being out of country again, having been on deployment since September 2023.A defense contractor for the U.S. government, he hit his 20-year anniversary of being in the military in December 2022.However, the news reports of his having first been arrested are still affecting him in his career because he has his security clearance reviewed regularly (Continuous Evaluation) and those old stories pop up.Sadly, there is an alarming frequency with which stories of wrongful arrests like Ian's occur.What follows is actually a condensed version of Ian's story. He tells it in great detail with various media outlets who have talked to him, as found on the INTERVIEWS page of this website.Ian was hired in 2009 by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO) and was to begin the corrections officer academy process. Less than a year in, he was already getting hostility from his supervising sergeant when he had to take time off for his Army National Guard duty. Later (August 2010), when Ian was assigned to a different shift, that sergeant displayed an attitude of disdain and started taking steps consistent with unequal treatment. Soon Ian was told he’d have to do an additional 38 days of probation – equivalent to the amount of military leave he’d taken that year. He not only contacted Human Resources, but his Fraternal Order of Police president regarding what was happening.Next he got assigned to a different jail, only to later (June 2013) be sent back to where he’d been – and back under the supervision of one of the previous troublemaker sergeants, who this time made threats. Ian eventually requested a transfer to another squad, only to be denied as several others who’d put in transfers after him were moved.Fast forward again (to October 2013), and Ian submitted his military reserve dates, only to later (February 2014) be told to change one of the military leave days to a personal leave day – or risk being written up for insubordination. After he begrudgingly changed it, the lieutenant who’d requested he make that change denied the leave request and later filed a complaint against him!Fast forward to June 2014 when Ian had received orders from the military to report to Fort Devins in Massachusetts for 90 days to attend intelligence training, only to – home alone, using personal leave days to spend time with friends and family before heading up north – be confronted by four men wearing tactical clothing with JSO badges around their necks, who handcuffed him and claimed they had a warrant for his arrest. At one point, two detectives went to Ian’s military unit in an attempt to subpoena his unit administrator, threatening him if he didn’t cooperate. After several months the case was dropped and Ian was never charged with any criminal offense.It was later learned that the lieutenant who’d ordered the change from military leave day to personal leave day had been stalking Ian’s personal Facebook and taking pictures from there, falsely alleging that pictures with his family were from dates he was misusing military leave.In March 2015 Ian received a call offering him a deal, being told that JSO wanted to wrap it up before the upcoming sheriff’s election. He didn’t take their “deal.”When Ian was sent home early from training on a Red Cross message because his grandfather had passed away, internal affairs told him that allegations against him were being sustained by them and they were recommending his termination. When he asked what policy he’d violated, they gave no answer. Listenhttps://ianmurray.net/about
