New Era at Perry County Sheriff’s Office
From the West Alabama Newsroom– There’s a new sheriff in Perry County for the first time in more than three and a half decades.
Tuesday was the first day on the job for new Perry County Sheriff — Billy Jones.
Jones says he’s planning to increase patrols in the county and make a few changes at the jail.
“To improve things. To improve a lot of things that’s already going on, said Jones. “There’s nothing wrong with what’s going on, we’re just going to improve to make things better.”
Jones is replacing long-time sheriff – James Hood — who retired after 36 years in office.
