Sheriff Jackie Matheny and members of the Warren County Sheriff’s Department had hoped to purchase SUVs to be added to their fleet for the coming year at a budget cost of $145,000. However, those hopes were dashed when the proposal came before the county’s Budget and Finance Committee.Committee chairman Herschel Wells said, “They need to go back to fuel-efficient vehicles. They don’t need SUVs.”“He’s got too many already,” said Commissioner Michael Martin referring to the county’s SUVs.The committee rejected the measure by a 5-0.
