William Clark – Hancock County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

Sheriff William Clark faced legal action in 2014 when Deputy Sargent was disciplined for a traffic accident. The Hancock County Commissioners voted to collect a $1,000 insurance deductible from Sargent, a decision opposed by Sheriff Clark. The dispute led to a legal case questioning the authority of the Commissioners over disciplinary actions within the Sheriff’s Office.
