Inyo County Board of Supervisors Appoints Sheriff
The Inyo County Board of Supervisors held a special meeting yesterday afternoon to interview Inyo County Sheriff applicants in order to fill the Sheriff’s Office vacancy left by former Sheriff Jeff Hollowell following his retirement. The meeting was a public format accessible via Zoom.Four candidates applied for the position; one candidate declined to interview. Acting Sheriff Eric Pritchard was ultimately selected by the Board in a unanimous but extensively debated decision.

Did they ask him what laws or mandates he will or won’t enforce
No questions were allowed. Not that I saw anyway. It was a listen to what we believe, kind of shindig.
