Bullochs Deputy of the Year
Maurice Lester called a real hard charger
W 021017 AWARD DEPUTY LESTER 01
Senior Deputy Maurice Lester of the Bulloch County Sheriff's Office was voted Deputy of the Year by his peers.
Law enforcement wasn’t the first career choice for Bulloch County sheriff’s Sr. Deputy Maurice Lester. In fact, he spent 22 years working for a local automobile dealership before a friend talked him into trying something new — and now, six years later, he finds himself the 2016 Bulloch County Sheriff’s Deputy of the Year. Lester said he doesn’t know why his peers chose him for the honor, but Bulloch County Sheriff Noel Brown had no hesitation in explaining why Lester deserves the title.
