Gibson County Sheriff Paul Thomas takes time out of his busy schedule to meet with Jimmie Leach and Brad McCoy. The Sheriff has a broad range of experience and he shares it all with Brad and The Investigator. The discussion includes great stories about Paul's time at Paris Island when he went through boot camp to become a United States Marine. When he returned home he served as an Agent with the West Tennessee Violent Crime and Drug Task Force and left that position to become the Sheriff of Gibson. He is now in his second 4 year term as Sheriff. The last part of the program is dedicated to an innovative program Paul instituted to get inmates solid jobs while still in jail and make themselves more prepared to succeed when they are released from jail. The results are very impressive. Considering all that is going on right now with Coronavirus, it feels good to hear some positive news!
