Bryan Murphy announced today he would seek election as Allen County sheriff.

“I picked up (nomination) petitions Tuesday, 20 years to the day after I began in law enforcement,” said Murphy, 48, undersheriff the past three years.

“I wholeheartedly support Bryan for sheriff,” said Sheriff Tom Williams, who announced earlier he would not be a candidate for a third four-year term.

Compliments flowed both ways: Murphy said he considered himself fortunate to have worked with Williams since 2005, as a master deputy before being named undersheriff. Murphy was a deputy and undersheriff previous to that under Sheriff Ron Moore from 1994 to 2000.
