Gwinnett, Cobb, Henry counties elect first Black sheriffs in history

COBB COUNTY, Ga. — There’s a new sheriff in town. Well, in three counties to be more specific.

Georgia has elected three men who are the first Black sheriffs in the history of their counties.

Craig Owens has declared victory over Sheriff Neil Warren in Cobb County and Keybo Taylor beat out Luis Solis in Gwinnett. In Henry County, Reginald Scandrett defeated Jack Redlinger.
