Marshall County residents are expressing their support for Joel Phillips to be named the next Marshall County Sheriff.
Phillips, 52, of State Center, has a long history with the sheriff’s office and, according to numerous letters and verbal praises, is an exemplary law enforcement official. He served as the chief deputy for former Sheriff Steve Hoffman before Hoffman resigned from his post on Monday.
