Local contractors donate 2025 Mustang to Paulding County sheriff as community relations vehicle
Summary
Local business owners Roberto Turner and Chris Graff offered a 2025 Ford Mustang to the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff Ashley Henson said the car will be used for community relations and surprised a lieutenant with the gift; the board discussed publicly thanking the donors.
Local contractors Roberto Turner and Chris Graff said they are donating a 2025 Ford Mustang to the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office, a gift the sheriff called a “community relations vehicle.” Sheriff Ashley Henson thanked the donors and described the planned surprise presentation to Lt. Ricky Waters, who was out of town.
“This is not every day you get somebody that wants to give you a car,” Henson said, describing the gift and the donors’ prior community support from food trucks to sponsorship of a memorial obelisk for a deputy. He said the car will be marked for official use and used for outreach.
Commissioners and community members on hand praised the donation and discussed continuing partnerships between the county and local businesses. The sheriff’s office requested the board’s assent to accept the vehicle; the transcript records discussion of the donation and public thanks but does not record a final recorded vote on formal acceptance in open session.
What’s next: Sheriff Henson said the office will present the car to the lieutenant when he returns to town; commissioners indicated support and planned to photograph the presentation. No further formal actions or final acceptance vote were recorded in the available transcript excerpt.
