Sheriff Jeff Nelson presented the award for Barnes’ service, loyalty and commitment to Chambers County.

“He’s always been at our call,” Nelson said to the commissioners during the meeting. “When we needed him, we called and he’d come … He is an outstanding young man, outstanding deputy and serves his county well.”
