McPherson County sheriff accepts Dundy County post; board offers local sheriff job to Lawrence Stump
Summary
Sheriff K.C. Bang told the board in March he accepted the Dundy County sheriff position and intended to resign; after closed-session interviews the board offered the McPherson County sheriff position to Lawrence Stump.
McPherson County’s board addressed a law-enforcement transition in March after Sheriff K.C. Bang informed commissioners he accepted the Dundy County sheriff position and would resign effective March 31, 2025.
The board met in closed session on March 12 to conduct interviews for the vacancy under the statutory exception for personnel matters. After the closed session, the board offered the McPherson County sheriff position to Lawrence Stump of Broken Bow; the offer passed unanimously, according to the minutes (SEG 035, SEG 049). The minutes indicate the board asked Sheriff Bang to submit a written resignation and instructed the county attorney and county clerk to advertise the vacancy and solicit applications for a successor if necessary.
The personnel actions and closed-session deliberations are recorded in the minutes; the board’s subsequent minutes reflect administrative steps for advertising and onboarding. Lawrence Stump later appears in county minutes in other roles, including mileage reimbursements and appointments.
