Retirement reception honors former sheriff

A retirement reception for former sheriff Wayne Agent was held Saturday at Marion Baptist Church Family Life Center. 

The come-and-go event celebrated Agent’s long career in law enforcement. Agent got his start as a lawman for the City of Marion before he was elected sheriff in 1988. Agent, who retired on Dec. 31, was the longest serving sheriff in county history.

Memorabilia from Agent’s life and career was on display at Saturday's event. Pictured with Agent is former law enforcement colleague Greg Rushing as they looked over photos and items on display.
