The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office will be unable to keep the Republican National Convention safe when it comes to the city next month, Sheriff Mike Williams said in a frank interview with local news outlets Monday afternoon.

Right now, he says they only have “bits and pieces” of a plan to handle the event.

“Where we are today is we can’t support this plan,” he said in the interview. “Where do we go from here is a good question. But where we are today, we can’t support it.”
