For months questions, rumors and speculation have been bantered about among residents of Jackson Parish in regard to the November election of the Jackson Parish Sheriff. Who will run? Who will not? I heard this! I heard that! Everyday the conjecture grew as the picture remained fuzzy. All the people wanted was a sure fire sign of what top expect. This past week they got not one, but two!

Eyebrows certainly raised and heads nodded while driving through the intersection of Hwy 167 and Hwy 4 and other main byways of Jonesboro, as adorning the grassy area alongside was placard signs that provided the answer that at least two have thrown their proverbial “hat in the ring.” 

While official qualifying is still months away, it is now apparent that Hodge Assistant Police Chief Cody Cheatwood and five term Jackson Parish Sheriff Andy Brown will be campaigning for the office. Will there be more to follow? Look for the signs!
