There’s a new sheriff in town – Jared Schneider took the oath of office this week for Washington County Sheriff. At Tuesday’s Washington County Board of Supervisors’ meeting, officials were sworn in by Dan Kitchen. They raised their right hands while promising to faithfully and impartially discharge all the duties of their offices in Washington County. Stan Stoops, Jack Seward Jr., and Bob Yoder also took oaths as they were re-elected to the board of supervisors in November’s election. Oaths were also taken by the acting county attorney Jennifer Lerner, and Washington County Auditor Dan Widmer and deputy auditors Sue Meeks and Michelle Hyman.
