During the Simpson County Board of Supervisors meeting Monday, December 4, 2017, Jerri Easterling was presented a resolution honoring Dan Easterling for his twenty-six years of service with the county as Constable.
The board has received four applications interested in the Constable 2 position. Candidates are as follows: Dusty Drennon, Jerri Easterling, David Joe Garner, and Chris Jones. Drennon was the only candidate present at the meeting and was allowed to voice his interest in the position. The board agreed to take the applicants into consideration until next board meeting when a decision would be determined to fill the position.
