Nowata County Sheriff Resigns

Google Street View

Nowata County Commissioner Bud Frost says the letter he got from Sheriff Rick Miller was short and to the point.

BUD FROST: " It said he is resigning effective yesterday."

Commissioner Frost says the sheriff cited stress as the reason for turning in his badge.  The under-sheriff and the jail administrator also recently resigned. 

It will be up to the commissioners to name an interim sheriff until a special election can be held.
