CALHOUN COUNTY (WACH) -- A Midlands sheriff has been named Sheriff of the Year by the South Carolina Sheriff's Association.

Summers was selected by a private panel making it the first time a sheriff from the county has won that statewide title.
“We have worked very hard over the past several years to make the Sheriff’s Office a professional and progressive agency that can meet the needs of our citizens”, Sheriff Summers said. “This recognition has been a very humbling experience”.
Summers was nominated by Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott.
State Rep. Harry Ott recognized Summers at the awards banquet with a signed resolution from the State House.
