Hughes County voters will have two choices for county sheriff when they fill out their ballot for the Nov. 8, 2022, general election.
Those choices are current Sheriff Patrick Callahan, a republican, and former Jones County Sheriff and current Pierre police officer John Weber, an independent.
Weber says explains why he’s running as an independent.
Weber has experience in both rural and urban law enforcement.
Part of being sheriff would include operating the Hughes County Jail, which– like many other corrections facilities– continuously has staffing shortages that limit the number of inmates that can be housed there. Weber says this is a long-term problem.
Along with Weber’s 25 or so years in law enforcement, he’s been a certified Emergency Medical Technician for over 20 years.
