Luzerne County-There's a new sheriff in town, Michael Savokinas took the "oath of office" Monday at the Luzerne County Courthouse.
Savokinas beat incumbent republican Barry Stankus in November. He talked with us about his top priority..."That's the top priority we're going to be looking at, knocking down the warrants and that ultimately is going to make our county safer. The more bad guys we take off the streets,thus making the streets safer and our county safer."
Savokinas says he will also give up his current job, as an intelligence officer for the Canadian Pacific Railroad. That will take at least 8 months, in which he calls a transition phase. | | |
