LaRue County Sheriff Bobby Shoffner Announces Retirement

After serving Larue County for over a decade, Sheriff Bobby Shoffner announced he is going to retire.

While confirming Shoffner's decision to retire, Chief Deputy Russell McCoy declined to make any further comment.

At the same time, Judge-Executive Tommy Turner said there has been no official notice of retirement that has come to him concerning the reported resignation by the sheriff.

According to Kentucky law, a county can appoint the Sheriff's replacement when he decides to retire before he serves his full term.

So far there has been no reason proffered for Shoffner retiring early.
