WASHINGTON — A controversial North Carolina sheriff who was among 10 local officials joining President Trump at Thursday’s White House meeting on school safety has acknowledged that his officers circulated an email containing an “offensive” joke about Narcan, the lifesaving drug used to reverse opioid overdoses.
Charles McDonald, the sheriff of Henderson County, has also faced questions about his spending and comments he made about anti-Trump protesters last year. He was sued by a former deputy for discrimination last month.
McDonald acknowledged in December that his officers had circulated an email, part of an internal analysis of crime statistics, that showed a syringe and the legend: “Narcan: Robbing Darwin of his bountiful harvest since 1971.”
After a local TV station publicized the memo last December, McDonald put out a statement that called it “a tasteless attempt at humor.”
