WAYNESBORO, Va. (WVIR) - Waynesboro will have a new sheriff. Christopher Johnson Jr. beat out Jessie Shaver with 65% of the vote on Tuesday.
Johnson is an officer with the Waynesboro Police Department and comes to the job with 8 years in law enforcement.
“I’m feeling excited. I’m feeling blessed and happy,” Johnson said. “You know, I put in a lot of hard work and effort. This is a goal I always wanted to achieve since I got into law enforcement, so it means a lot to me.”
Johnson says one of his biggest goals is to start a community outreach program for the youth to build a strong relationship.
