Sounds to me like the Jones County Sheriff made a mountain out of a mole hill here...

Just saw this;

Jones County Sheriff Greg Graver this afternoon released a statement on the recent appearance by Florida Georgia Line at the Great Jones County Fair in Monticello, Iowa.

Graver did not respond to requests from the Telegraph Herald for comment on the issue Tuesday. In his statement today, he noted he would not offer any additional comment on the issue.

In the statement, Graver said a fair security officer told him that the band "requested no uniformed presence behind stage." At that point, the sheriff stated, he was unaware of "any requests they had made to law enforcement at previous shows."

"No reason was given, and I felt I did not need one," Graver said in the statement of the request. "The request for no uniformed presence behind stage is rare, but does happen. I don’t have to, but I generally honor their request."
