Sheriff Robinson officially turned in his written resignation to county at the commissioners court special meeting last Monday.
Robinson’s resignation letter consisted of a single sentence:
“I hereby announce my intent to resign as Fisher County Sheriff with an effective date of August 31, 2016.”
Robinson graduated from Rotan High School in 1966, joined the Army, and served his country for 22 years before winning the Bronze Starr, retiring as Master Sergeant, and returning home to serve at home. Sheriff J.A. Robinson has been serving the county for 24 years, 7 as Fisher County Sheriff.
The court accepted Robinson’s resignation.
The court briefly went into closed session to discuss Robinson’s successor. Until a newly elected sheriff takes over in January, the court must appoint for the unexpired term.
