PAWNEE COUNTY, Oklahoma -
The Pawnee County Sheriff’s Office is coming into this century with new equipment. The new sheriff, Darrin Varnell, has made a lot of upgrades in his four months in office.
New sheriff's office vehicles are one of many changes in Pawnee County, and the sheriff said this is just the start.
Varnell promised to hit the ground running after taking office a few months ago. He's worked in the sheriff’s office in the past as a dispatcher, deputy, and major and said things were very neglected.
"We've been able to upgrade a lot of equipment at zero taxpayer dollars," said Varnell.
