BIRMINGHAM<\/strong>\u2014Federal prosecutors on Wednesday charged a former Winston County sheriff\u2019s deputy with using his police authority to extort a woman to cook methamphetamine.<\/p>\n

Former Deputy Grady Keith Concord<\/strong>, 42, of Lynn, \u00a0also made her manufacture and distribute the drug at her home where she lived with a minor child, officials said.<\/p>\n

Concord was charged with one count of extortion under color of official right, one count of manufacturing methamphetamine and one count of manufacturing and distributing methamphetamine on premises where children are present or reside, according to authorities.<\/p>\n

Concord who was a deputy with the Winston County Sheriff’s Office has agreed to plead guilty to the charges. \u00a0He is facing up \u00a0to 40 years or more when he is sentenced.<\/p>\n

As part of Concord\u2019s plea agreement, he must surrender all law enforcement certifications and not seek future employment in law enforcement, including as a correctional or probation officer or bail bondsman.<\/p>\n

Attorneys Richard S. Jaffe and Michael Whisonant Jr. are representing Concord, according to the AL.com<\/a><\/p>\n

“Keith deeply regrets becoming addicted to methamphetamine, and further breaking the law to obtain the substance, rather than seeking medical treatment” Jaffe said. “Keith in no way blames anyone or anything but himself for violating his oath as a law enforcement officer, and embarrassing his department and his family. His agreement to plead guilty and accept full responsibility is a positive first step toward recovery.”<\/p>\n
