According to a story published online by The Denver Post, Nov. 27, Park County Sheriff Fred Wegener will not run for re-election in 2018.
“I was just answering a question from the Denver Post. I was hoping to give a statement next year. I had decided not to run after talking to my family. I have always done my best for the county and look forward to relaxing and spending time with my grandchildren,” Wegener told The Flume.
Wegener has commanded the Sheriff’s Office since 1999. During his five terms, Wegener has overseen two incidents that made national news.
