  • After seeing the show "Taken at Birth," which is about a doctor from Mccayesville selling babies out of his clinic in the 50s & 60s, being sheriff of McCayesville isn't necessarily anything to put on ones resume. Seems like most everyone interviewed in that town has a tight lip regarding the truth... in other words, not trustworthy at all.
