Montgomery County sheriff asks commission to approve sale of three decommissioned SUVs to Macon County for $7,500 each

Montgomery County Sheriff Derrick Cunningham asked the Montgomery County Commission on Jan. 20, 2026, to approve the sale of three decommissioned Ford Explorer patrol vehicles to the Macon County Sheriff for $7,500 each.

The request appears in a memo to the commission and includes an attached Nov. 7, 2025, letter from Macon County Sheriff Andre Brunson addressed to Asst. Chief Deputy Wesley Richardson of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office. Brunson’s letter formally requests to purchase the three used Explorer patrol vehicles and says the vehicles “will significantly enhance our operational readiness, officer’s safety, and overall service to the public.”

The memo states the vehicles are in county inventory but “no longer in service” and that the proposed sale price is $7,500 per vehicle (a total of $22,500 if all three are sold). The attachment provides contact information for the Macon County Sheriff’s Department and requests immediate attention to the purchase.

The transcript supplied is a document record (the memo and attached letter) and does not include any recorded discussion, motion, or vote by the Montgomery County Commission on the matter. The memo asks the commission to approve the sale; the commission’s action or decision is not recorded in the provided material.

No other authorities, statutes, or funding sources are cited in the memo or attachment. The record does not specify the vehicles’ model years, mileage, or condition beyond being “decommissioned.”
