Sheriff of Jackson County for seven terms, Johnny McDaniel said he was honored to have author R.L. Dodson contact him about writing a book about his life and enjoyed working with the author who he said verified everything written in the book.
McDaniel said working with the author brought back a lot of memories of all that he had learned through working in the political scene.
McDaniel said he did learn over the years that while the faces may change, the motive behind crimes remain fairly remain constant and some crimes will go unsolved.
Former Jackson County Sheriff Johnny McDaniel relaxed and enjoyed sharing stories with friends James Barnes and Perry Wells.
