Wilson, who is a fourteen (14) year veteran of the Sheriff’s Office, has been the acting Superintendent for several weeks, filling a vacancy created by the resignation of Kevin Hale. Wilson’s permanent appointment took effect on April 26.
Wilson was officially sworn-in May 2 in a ceremony held at the County Jail. Several of Wilson’s family members, co-workers, and friends were in attendance. Wilson’s son Alex (age 6) held the bible as his father took the oath of office.
