There is going to be a new sheriff in town and there is every indication he is going to be a good one. State Police Investigator Karl Byrd defeated Ret. State Police Major Jim Elliott last night by an unofficial margin on 3174 votes.
We had a chance to catch up to sheriff elect Byrd at his watch party last night and he told us he’s looking forward for the opportunity to make the sheriff’s office a more progressive law enforcement agency.
Byrd also took the opportunity to introduce us to who he will be naming Chief Deputy once he takes office, Ret. State Police Lt. Jerry Gross of Conway.
We must say that we too are looking forward to the changes Byrd has in store for the people of Faulkner County. Who knows with a lot of hard work and a lot dedication Karl Byrd just might succeed in making a department that even we’d be proud of…
Good Luck Karl.
