Amid pleas from some of the public to not rush to judgment and “pause” the selection, Shasta County supervisors appointed Anderson Police Chief Michael Johnson as sheriff Tuesday.
Johnson’s appointment came after a 4-1 vote. Supervisor Patrick Jones cast the lone dissenting vote.
Johnson takes over from Sheriff Eric Magrini, who resigned in June to become the county’s assistant CEO. Johnson will start Aug. 15.
Johnson s term will run through December 2022. He has already said he will seek re-election in June 2022.
Addressing supervisors and the public after his appointment, Johnson said he’s had people ask him why he wants to leave Anderson to lead a department that’s been beset with controversy in recent months with the sudden resignation of Magrini.
