Jonathan Horton beat incumbent Etowah County Sheriff Todd Entrekin in Alabama’s GOP primary election on Tuesday, following reports that Entrekin was pocketing money intended to feed inmates in the local county jail he oversees. Horton announced he’d received a call from Entrekin on Tuesday night conceding the election. With no Democratic candidates on the ballot, Horton now becomes the new county sheriff. He celebrated by holding up a T-shirt that read, “There’s A New Sheriff In Town.”
