Franklin County Marshal’s Office Hires Assistant Deputy

The Franklin County Marshal’s office has a new member.

County Marshall Freddy Akin tells WLHR News his office has hired Jared Hightower as Assistant Deputy Marshal.

Hightower comes to the office from Royston where he worked as the Royston City Marshal.

Akin said the two will be working the entire Franklin County area.

Last year, Akin came before the Board of Commissioners asking for help and the Board agreed to work an assistant into the new budget.

Hightower began working with Akin in the County Marshal’s office on January 3.
