Last Friday, Deputy Ben Mollohan was officially welcomed into the Chattooga County Sheriff’s force by Sheriff Mark Schrader after graduating from the police academy.

Having worked in the local jail for two years, Deputy Mollohan will begin his field training soon, highlighting his dedication to law enforcement and public service. Sheriff Schrader expressed excitement for the new addition, praising Deputy Mollohan’s experience as beneficial for his new role.

The graduation ceremony was particularly special as Deputy Mollohan’s mother flew in from Maryland to pin his badge on his uniform at the ceremony.
