PEORIA, Ill. – The appointment of Chris Watkins as Peoria County’s sheriff is now official.
The Peoria County Board Thursday night approved the appointment of Watkins as Sheriff, taking the word “interim” off his title.
Watkins replaced Brian Asbell a week ago, and is on the November election ballot for the permanent job, so far running unopposed.
Watkins says on social media the vote shows how much confidence the Peoria County Board has in him and his team.
