Fayette City Administrator Tyler Griffith says the mayor and city council recently appointed an interim police chief.

Current Fayette Police Chief Jeff Oswald (Oz-Wald) won the Howard County Sheriff seat. Griffith reports on various items from last week’s Fayette City Council meeting.

The Republican Oswald defeated Mike Neal in the Howard County sheriff race. Oswald’s permanent replacement will be determined on the spring ballot as Fayette is one of few cities with an elected police chief.
