Johnson announces 2016 sheriff candidacy

Lt. Bob Johnson plans to run for Santa Rosa County sheriff in 2016 and is taking advantage of a recent transfer to the main office in Milton to gain experience.

After serving as the District 2 Supervisor in Navarre for two and a half years, Johnson has been assigned to an administrative position in the main office in Milton.

Sheriff Wendell Hall said the he is rotating his lieutenants to work in administrative positions in Milton.

“We’ve got some divisions that will need to be filled in the next couple of years because of retirements,” said Hall. “So I’m rotating lieutenants in and out of positions to see who is best suited for the position(s) in a captain’s capacity.”
