Petition to get alleged sexual offender removed from sheriff's office
Dubuque, Iowa police have hired an alleged sex offender as their new sheriff.
Matthew Pothoff
His father, Harley is a former sheriff, & the current Dubuque County Supervisor.
His brother Luke is a current sheriff.
At 17, he was accused of giving an underage girl a laced Kool-Aid drink at his home. It made her feel dizzy, she blacked out, and woke up to him assaulting her. Authorities said a blood test found dextromethorphan — an over-the-counter cough suppressant — in the girl’s blood. A bottle in Pothoff’s kitchen also contained dextromethorphan, documents state. They also state that DNA evidence corroborates the girl’s assertion that she was sexually assaulted.
The people of Dubuque, and the people of America, do not want sexual offenders in our sheriff department.
