Letcher County Schools will reportedly be getting a second school resource officer.
The Mountain Eagle reports Letcher County Sheriff Billy Jones has hired retired Fleming
Neon Police Chief Mike Dingus as a deputy sheriff.
Jones was himself the SRO for Letcher County Central High until he was appointed sheriff and that position was filled by former Fleming-Neon Chief Allen Bormes.
When Dingus comes on board he will alternate between Letcher Elementary and Middle School and Arlie Boggs Elementary.
