Former Jailer Moses will not seek reelection

Former Whitley County Jailer Les Moses has decided not to seek the job

again.

Moses announced Friday morning that he would not be seeking the jailer’s job

again as he previously indicated in a April 12 interview with News Journal

reporter Dean Manning.

Moses was elected jailer last year, but resigned in January after serving

only eight days on the job.

Ken Mobley, the man who Moses replaced as jailer, was appointed as jailer

until November’s General Election when a permanent replacement to fill out

the remaining three years of the term will be made.

For additional information about why Moses resigned and his reasons for

considering trying to get the job back, see Wednesday’s edition of the News

Journal next week for additional information.
