Town Council member, Les McFarland presented an offer from the Sheriff’s Department to purchase Truty’s bullet-proof vest since they are specially fitted to the officer.

Town Council members Ward Byers and Terry Clemens approved the purchase with councilman Less McFarland abstaining because he is a member of the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department.
