Arkansas Sheriff Flamed for Listing Deleted Diesel Truck on Facebook Marketplace

There has almost been no hotter topic in the last few months than the EPA cracking down on emissions violators. Folks looking to modify their trucks have been hit with fines, and the companies making the parts have been even more aggressively admonished for selling non-compliant parts. So when the Sharp County, Arkansas Sheriff posted an emissions-deleted truck for sale, you can guess what happened.

According to the Arkansas Times, Sharp County Sheriff Shane Russell posted a 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 HD to Facebook marketplace with the description clearly stating that it is “deleted and tuned.” In all fairness, the Sharp County Sheriff didn’t write the EPA laws on emissions, but they certainly are empowered to enforce them. The leader of the local sheriff's department owning an illegal truck while simultaneously enforcing the law is a bit rich, if we’re being honest.
