Welcome to the Greene County Sheriff’s Office website! Sheriff Steven S. Smith has proudly served as Sheriff of Greene County since January 1, 2012. Under his leadership, the Greene County Sheriff...I had a Greene county officer go by me at about 65mph on 33 this morning then proceed to run 70+ up the mountain. What happened to leading by example? Is this why y’all don’t run radar anymore? Because your own employees can’t even follow the laws? I think it’s time for a change in the sheriff’s office.

Thank god they got this Reggie off the streets 😅
That’s not marijuana that’s mulch that’s why it’s still so much 😂😂🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ he couldn’t get that off if he wanted to
How did Greene county get ahold of a saltwater soaked bale of dirt weed that washed up in Vero Beach Florida in 1982?
35lbs of sticks and seeds. High grade
Great work! Thank You for doing your best to keep it off the streets!
Is this item still available?
I just came for the comments 😂
I know there's going to be some people in Greene County that are about to get told on 🤣🤣🤣
I don't snort or shoot up weed myself, cuz drugs are bad, mmkay...but this commentary 😂. Ahhh...I love living near rural communities where a small time dealer gets busted, everyone that knows him starts a war airing his personal drama in the comments, while strangers roast him (and the police). What a time to be alive. Happy Holidays, everyone.
for everybody putting there 2 cents in everybody else’s business and not worry about them self, leave my sisters name out ya mouths and on scott (my brother) behalf everyone mind your business, he will pull his time that he gets and ain’t gonna snitch cause that’s not him. his crime is on him not y’all so keep your opinions to yourself and your BIG a** noses out our business cause it don’t involve you or your opinions. PERIODTTTT.💪🏼 have a blessed day and stay safe.
The comment section did not disappoint 😂.
Dude got arrested and publicly roasted, tough week
Well first that looks like more than 750 in cash, unless they laid it to make it full, second, half of yall tripping because you now have to find more stuff 😂 last fighting on social media doesn't change this fact that he's gone for awhile. Regardless I like Scott he's not a bad person he just made poor decisions I really had/have hi hopes of a turn around and that he'll continue to try and do right. This is someone son brother love on have a little more respect
If he wasn't selling coke, I'd say leave him alone.
Is that tobacco!? 😂😂
Man out here stuck in 2004 selling Reggie. I’d be ashamed to be arrested for that 🤣🤣
😂🤣😂They still busting people for weed? Then gunna flex like they did something 😂🤣 what a waste of taxpayers money.
People are about to start whining that "Greene is dry AF right now", their plug is in custody, lol.
"Another one bites the dust"... Great work and congratulations to Greene County Sheriff's Office Investigations team. You are all awesome!!
PRAYERS SENT TO ALL OF THE FAMILY,
Keep getting them! Next!!!!
I didn’t know they still made swag.. 35 lbs for 500..
I’m just over here offering condolences to whomever buys this Mexican ditch Ouid and smokes it.
Great job Greene County Sheriff's Department for getting these drugs off the streets.
That looks like big bags of dirt !

Greene County Sheriff’s Office received information about an allegation involving a crime against a child within the county. Greene County Investigation opened a case which resulted in a direct indictment of aggravated sexual battery of a minor less than 13 years old.
As a result, Rhudy S. Foutz of Ruckersville, age 75 was taken into custody on 10/14/22 and held without bond and transported to Central Virginia Regional Jail.
This is an ongoing investigation and if anyone has any information, they are urged to contact Sergeant Jason Tooley at (434) 531-0866
This man is 75 years old. I am willing to bet sadly that child isn’t his only victim. Throw away the key!
I really want to understand what do adults get out of messing with children 🤦🏾♀️ just disgusting
If he done anything to my daughters he wouldn’t see the court room
Sick glad it wasn’t my 13 year old it would be a picture of me on here for…. Let’s leave it at that 🤬
Let me have him for about a month he begging to get locked up!!!
75 probably been doing this crap his entire life. Let him rot in jail and may prison justice be served.
Seventy five. How many children has he stolen innocence and childhood from. How do these people camouflage themselves so well in plain sight?
Thank you for listening and investigating. We all need to be very careful about where our children are and who they're with. It's hard to trust people nowadays and that's why my children are only allowed to stay with a select number of people, especially overnight. Now let's pray this child gets the help they need.
I hope y'all prosecute to the laws full existence people like that make me sick !!!
What the actual hell!! Lead is cheap!!
My heart goes out to the victim or victims. I pray they get help to get them through this horrible situation .
Jail justice will get him
Wow. Wonder if there are others? He was a teacher at AHS for years.
This man has ruined this child's life.prayers
If it was one of my children, you’d be looking at my mugshot instead…
Good on this case but how about the one out on the streets of Greene for over a year now? Different case, same situation. SMH.
I have friends and family in pretty much every block in cvrj. Word is definitely getting in. If law enforcement is on our side they'll put him in gen.pop.
This man at his age should be enjoying his Retirement Not little kids SMH
He needs to be put in jail and never get out....If he did that to my granddaughters he wouldn't be around just saying
Greene or someone keep harassing me about raping my 7 year old. He was missing from Nathanael Greene Primary school and my daughter and son has been missing from the house for months threw the courthouse they took me to. I had a final court sole USA has been harassing me about the crime they did to me innocent in the house.
Co Mos if he gets sent somewhere real he won't b able to have anything con law
He should NEVER be FREE, let him Rot behind bars!
75 years old...geez. what in the world!
Great job!
Nail' hammer, gas, a knife, and a tree , add a match and let him decide his fate
Greene County Sheriff's Office is now hiring for full-time School Resource Officer.
Ruckersville man pleads to drug, firearm charges in federal court
Ruckersville man pleads to drug, firearm charges in federal court
www.cbs19news.com
Michael Watkins Hayer of Ruckersville waived his right to be indicted and pleaded to drug distribution and firearm possession charges.It’s disgusting to me that Hayer was concerned about his family and friends well-being when it came to the drugs, but had the nerve to be selling this garbage to our families. 😡
Anyone who deals fentanyl (aka: The Biden-Harris drug) should be automatically charged with attempted murder. You don't even have to be a drug user to experience its effect. There has been quite a few cases of someone dying after having casual contact with the actual user. 😡
On Feb. 18, 2022, Hayer sold half of a brick of fentanyl to a person who took it and later died of an overdose. That paragraph alone should be enough for this low life to never see daylight again. My suggestion is when you catch someone with this much deadly crap then they should have it dumped down their own dam throat
You will never regret this decision. Protecting our children is a priority. Kudos for the person who worked hard to get these grants.
Best news We have heard in a while, we really need good Officers in our schools that will treat the students equal and be some one the children can relate to and respect! Just so glad .
They outside the house saying Greene county VA killed my 1 year and 7 year old that is missing from the house. I havent seen my babies in months since they had paper in the house that they use to hurt my babies. Pray for my babies Isaiah and Kimilla Campbell 🙏

Great job !! Thanks for protecting our county
Now if the judge will do the right thing
All coming in from our open border policy there has to be something done ASAP
Great job Greene County Sheriff's Department for getting these weapons and drugs off the streets and I hope the judge gives him the maximum sentence required by law and anyone who sells or distributes fentanyl or other drugs should get a lengthy sentence.
Please call me for Jury duty!
So we're just not gonna talk about how it's called Operation Barbecue Sauce? 😂
Excellent work!!!
Great work. Pray the courts uphold the sentence he deserves
I would love to be on jury duty for this! So many lives saved! Great Job!
Pretty sure this saved a bunch of lives...
Awesome job seems so pale. I’m thankful that all of this garbage is off the streets. My grandchildren are a little safer.
I'm so glad they got this off the streets just more and more everyday. We just have to keep getting it off the streets coming across the borders using people and animals as mules it just has to stop. Families are hurting grieving children are crying, I'm just glad they got this batch and I know they'll continue to get more great job
If He wants to sell the stuff that takes the lives of others then he should have to live out the rest of his life behind bars. Unfortunately not one case I've seen so far has made a impression on our youth to get away from this type of life. Someone eventually needs to be responsible for their actions or this type of thing will continue to happen. MAKE A EXAMPLE AND DO THE RIGHT THING TO SAVE OUR KIDS!!
Good Job. Kick it up a notch and find his suppliers.
Great job Greene County. 👏 Pat Kidd Marshall
