GA: Allen edges Cox in runoff election for Clayton County Sheriff
JONESBORO — With 100% of precincts reporting Tuesday night’s runoff election for Clayton County, Interim Clayton County Sheriff Levon Allen beat Clarence Cox by fewer than 300 votes.
Allen received 7,716 votes (50.88%) while Cox received 7,450 (49.12%).
The election went to a runoff after the March 21 special election to determine who will serve the remainder of former Sheriff Victor Hill’s term through December 2024.
Last month, Hill was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison on civil rights violations and was recently ordered to report to a federal prison in Arkansas by May 15.
