The Gregory Police Chief is finding himself on the wrong side of the law again. This time he and his wife are facing assault charges for an argument.
This is dashcam video from Taft police officers who responded to the assault call between Gregory Police Chief Joseph Roberts and his wife Monica Roberts. Taft Police say, Monica Roberts slashed two of the tires on her husband's Gregory Police Cruiser, after he allegedly threw a beer bottle at her. The video from the dashcam recording is not what's compelling here, it's what Joseph Roberts can be heard saying. When talking with the Taft Officers about a recent manhunt in Gregory where a game room was robbed... Roberts seems to be saying he *wanted* the suspect to shoot him.
"A lot of me thought, if I go and get him and he shoots me because of everything that's going on in the news," Roberts said.
Taft Officer: "That ain't the way to think about stuff and that's why you didn't do it. You backed up and did it the right way."
Roberts: "But you know what? At least I would have went out a hero."

He has no business being in the position of police chief. Taft who was speaking with the chief sounds more like he should be the chief. Taft sounded very level headed.
