Daniel Sharp, a five-year resident of Churchill County and newcomer to local politics has thrown his hat in the ring to challenge Churchill County Sheriff Richard Hickox.
“When Hickox didn’t stand with the other sheriffs and declare our county a second amendment sanctuary it made me mad because you’re sworn as the sheriff to uphold the constitution first and foremost,” said Sharp. “We need someone in there who knows at least a little about the constitution and can hire people, at least an undersheriff and some captains who know what they’re doing.”
Describing himself as a businessman, farmer, and handyman, Sharp said he buys and sells property and has rentals. He grew up in Louisiana and was raised to be a minister. His family moved to California where he got into construction and built swimming pools.
Sharp is currently involved in a criminal case that he said is nearly resolved and that he cannot discuss on the advice of his attorney. According to documents in the 10th Judicial District Court, Sharp was scheduled to appear in court on March 29, however, his case was continued to next week.
He was arrested last April on a warrant, and according to the District Court docket, charges against him are Assault with a deadly weapon, Burglary with a deadly weapon, and Coercion with the use of physical force. According to the docket, the event occurred on January 6, 2020.
