Alleghany County appoints Shane Glenn as interim sheriff
Summary
Commissioners appointed Shane Glenn to finish the current sheriff's term through November; Glenn spoke to express gratitude and pledged to serve professionally and maintain open communication with the public and staff. The appointment was approved on the agenda by voice vote.
The Alleghany County commissioners moved to appoint Shane Glenn to fill the county sheriff vacancy through November, according to the agenda and the motion taken during the March 2 meeting. The chair asked for a motion to appoint; the motion was made and seconded, and the board recognized the appointee.
The appointee (identified in the record as the newly appointed sheriff) told commissioners he was "humbled by the appointment" and said he understood the responsibility of the office. He said his priorities would be to "protect the community, support the men and women of this office, and maintain honest and open communication between the public," and closed by saying he was "honored to serve" and "ready to go to work." The board congratulated him.
Note on name spelling in the transcript: the agenda and some speakers refer to the appointee as "Shane Glenn," while at least one speaker used the variant "Shane Green." The transcript contains inconsistent spellings; the motion on the agenda used the "Shane Glenn" spelling, which this article uses for consistency with the formal agenda language. The transcript does not record a roll-call tally for the appointment; the board congratulated the appointee and proceeded to other business during the same meeting.
