A Corporal with The Satsuma Police Department has stepped down after being accused of sexual harassment. The Satsuma Police Chief says three complaints from three different women were filed against Cpl. Gary Mauldin. Chief David Benefield says when he confronted Mauldin Saturday about the allegations, Mauldin resigned, "we received citizens complaint in reference to Cpl. Mauldin alleging sexual harassment, some comments, inappropriate comments, being made to females as he was dealing with them in the performance of his duties," said Benefield. We tried to get in touch with Mauldin, but, we couldn't reach him. Mauldin had been on the police force in Satsuma for four years.

I’ve heard from several people in the community that more officers in the department are involved in this…and there is more than harassment going on. Again, that is just heresay but maybe more people will be brave and speak out about whatever is going on.

Mybe one of all these voices will be heard!!!
I think it’s time.

IT’S NOT JUST THIS ONE OFFICER. THEY NEED TO INVESTIGATE THE ENTIRE DEPARTMENT. THERES A LOT GOING ON HERE IN SATSUMA THAT THE POLICE SHOULD NOT LET HAPPEN. I THINK THE STATE OR THE FBI NEEDS TO COME AND INVESTIGATE AND SEE WHAT REALLY IS GOING ON HERE IN SATSUMA,AL.  BECAREFUL BECAUSE SATSUMA OFFICERS ARE DOING WRONG…...

No He would make comments like.. when u gunna let me get some of that or when we gunna hook up.. or lemme see what ya got.. and look at my breast or ask to see pictures or ask questions about our sexual activity! I DONT call this harmless flirting!!!!

I have been on the other side of his “harmless flirting” and I never provoked it! He was doing this stuff WAY before he got married. This has nothing to do with him being married or anyone being jealous. He to me is not an attractive guy what so ever! But Gary should know that the standards of conduct used for ordinary citizens don’t apply to them..

Well, the guy does certainly look like a chick magnet and probably attracts a few other farm animals as well.

This is not a matter of wether or not he did it, because Im sure he was flirting with them, but its what they are accusing him of saying and how much they are making this into something it isnt. He might say something like Hey girl you looking good or something innocent, and this is a small town so every body knows everybody

well its so funny that it has been going on for years but he gets married and all of a sudden they come up with this. Im not saying what he did was appropriate, because yes in some cases he was on duty and he was respresnting the city but I have seen these women and they are not his type. Every one from that area knows Gary and they know he is a big flirt, and he respects boundaries, I know because he has flirted with me and I have had to say Gary we are just friends, chill out and he said I know Im sorry, and that was the end of it. So Im sure if they would have said stop he would have.

The more I read here; the more creepy this sounds.  The cops need to dig a little deeper and see if he was messing around with underage girls.

Well you might be right on that part and I’m sure those girls are not the ones that made complaints on him. But even if that is true that doesn’t make it right.. He was on duty when these things occured.. He was representing the city of Satsuma.. If he wanted to flirt on his time then thats his business but just think about it this way.. what if he made comments to your daughter(if u have one) or touched your daughter.. how would you feel about him? would you say.. well my daughter probably provoked it.. I highly doubt it. They did investigate it and I’m positive they reviewed his hard drive.. and these compalints were credible..
