By Emma Tucker, CNN
Albany County Sheriff Aaron Appelhans stands in the county courthouse in Laramie, Wyoming. (CNN)For the first time in its 130-year history, Wyoming has a Black sheriff. Aaron Appelhans, 39, has taken charge of the Albany County Sheriff s Office, which faces two pending lawsuits and calls for reform in the aftermath of the fatal shooting of Robert Robbie Ramirez by a deputy in 2018.
