It’s the filtration process that makes Jack Daniel’s so smooth. Photo credit to local, Chris Dickey. He’s the one who makes all that yummy food at Miss Mary Bobo’s Restaurant.

Hey, hey. Look at our Moore County Sheriff’s Department Deputy winning an award. Congrats!

Lieutenant Dustin White was named Deputy of the year District 7!

Lieutenant White was nominated by Chief Deputy Taylor for this award because of his handling of a call, unrelated to the eventual arrest, that led to a significant amount of narcotics being found and seized. Lieutenant White's willingness to assess the circumstances of each call and always be thorough in his investigation is a testament to his dedication to our citizens, our profession, and how he always leads by example. Please help us congratulate him on winning this award.
