Sheriff Bob Barker serves till the end
Tuesday, August 17, 2010

Sumner County's beloved Sheriff Bob Barker ended his battle with illness at 1:40 a.m. Tuesday, August 17, at home with his wife, Connie, and family and friends in attendance.

Known as a humanitarian, as well as a realist, Sheriff Barker consistently discussed the inmates of Sumner County Jail as people, “just like you and me” who have made poor choices. Sheriff Barker received many honors during his lifetime, including Sheriff of the Year 2008 by the Tennessee Sheriff’s Association.

Sheriff Barker ran unopposed for re-election to the Sheriff’s office this year, and earlier Tuesday evening was sworn in by County Clerk Bill Kemp and County Executive Anthony Holt.
