With Bryan Murphy winning Tuesday’s primary election, citizens of Allen County are one step closer to having a new sheriff.
Murphy defeated Jared Froggatte a farmer with a background in law enforcement, in the Republican primary.
Murphy collected 1,420 votes to Froggatte’s 860.
Though Murphy gained a victory he knows he needs to stay focused until November when he goes up against Skyler Clark — who has filed as an independent — in the general election.
