SUMMARY: Multiple sheriff’s offices in Mississippi made history on Tuesday night during the primary election. In DeSoto County, Thomas Tuggle became the second Black man elected sheriff and the first since 1873. Tuggle, a military veteran and retired lieutenant colonel for the Mississippi Highway Patrol, swept the general election as there were no Democrats on the ballot. In Hinds County, incumbent Sheriff Tyree Jones defeated challenger Marshand Crisler by a significant margin in the Democratic primary. Crisler’s campaign was damaged by bribery and ammunition selling charges. Matt Haley was elected as the new sheriff of Harrison County following the retirement of Sheriff Troy Peterson. Haley, who has served in various positions with the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office for 25 years, won the Republican primary and will be unopposed in the general election.
