Let's Mourn The Passing Of Booger Pruitt


Royce "Booger" Pruitt has died. Best known (or at least is now known) for being the longest serving Sheriff in the history of Texas. "He started working as a Deputy Sheriff for Glasscock County in 1958 and was appointed Sheriff in 1962. He retried in 2008 after 47 years and was the longest serving Sheriff in Texas and the United States." In the 2010 census, Glasscock County had 1,226 residents..

(I'm going to assume that Pruitt was, like most public officials, honest and competent at his job.)

This illustrates why term limits are wrong, especially for the "worker bee" positions, such as sheriffs, clerks and such.

There was a point in time when Booger was the Sheriff, Tax Assessor Collector and Chief Appraiser all at the same time.

booger pruit was a mighty fine man
he beat his 'meat' with his left hand
always wore a silver belly opon his head
from the time he was born until he was dead

He was known to fling himself into quality investigations.

He was a salty lawman.
