Madison County Sheriff Ronnie Boyd has announced his resignation, effective August 6. The Madison County Quorum Court is scheduled to appoint an interim sheriff on Monday.
Boyd’s departure may impact the timing of the county’s new jail, which began operating as a 24-hour holding facility last month. The county had planned to transfer inmates held for Madison County at other facilities by the end of July or early August, but this timeline could now change.
In March, Boyd lost the Republican primary runoff election to Chuck Melton. No Democrats filed for the seat, and Melton is set to take office in January.
