Shelby County Sheriff Sean McQueen has resigned. McQueen submitted a resignation letter to the Shelby County Board announcing his intent to resign and his last day set for November 5th. McQueen said in his letter of resignation he was stepping down from full-time law enforcement for an opportunity that he said would be “life-changing.”

Undersheriff Brian McReynolds will be appointed interim Sheriff. Sheriff McQueen said in his statement. “It has been an honor and an absolute privilege to be able to work alongside some of the finest law enforcement officers and support personnel around. It has been a pleasure to serve the citizens of Shelby County. Thank you to each and every one of you that has encouraged and supported me as the Undersheriff and Sheriff.”
