THE CARTER COUNTY JAIL HAS A NEW ADMINISTRATOR. LT. BOBBY HUFFMAN WAS NAMED TO THE POSITION LAST WEEK. JERRY STOUT SERVED AS JAIL ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE LAST EIGHT MONTHS. HUFFMAN HAD BEEN SERVING AS A PATROL LIEUTENANT WITH THE CARTER COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE WHEN SHERIFF CHRIS MATHES DECIDED TO PLACE HIM IN CHARGE OF THE JAIL. THE LOCKUP WAS DECERTIFIED LAST YEAR BY THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS. SEVERAL STEPS HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO GET THE FACILITY BACK INTO COMPLIANCE AND HUFFMAN WILL OVERSEE THAT PROJECT STARTING TODAY.
