Sheriff Nick Weems told the Buffalo River Review, "I am very proud to have the caliber of men like Crowe. He has already showed his dedication and loyalty to serving Perry County in just a short time.
"Just like seasons change, so does the Sheriff's Office. Recently, we have lost a few good officers due to seeking a better paying job. However, I have hand-selected good, dedicated, trained men with military experience to fill these positions," Sheriff Weems said.
