Dep. Janovsky was called out to a neighbor dispute in which one neighbor was moving limerock from the county road onto his property to form a driveway. Dep. Janovsky was asked by the complainant to take an incident report but did not. He told the complainant it was not a Sheriff's Office problem. He was very short toward the complainant, displaying an uncaring attitude. Dep. Janovsky refused to take a report as requested by the complainant, thereby failing to execute the duties and responsiblities of his position properly.
