PENDER COUNTY—The candidate’s for the November election for Pender County Sheriff have been decided after Tuesday’s Republican primary election.
According to the State Board of Elections, Alan Cutler received the majority of votes after all 20 precincts reported results. Cutler will face off against Democrat Lawrence Fennell in the November general election.
Cutler took more than 50-percent of the votes cast in the primary–2,176–according to the State Board of Elections.
Seven candidates entered into the race after the announcement from Sheriff Carson Smith of his intent to run for the N.C. House of Representatives spot vacated by Chris Millis.
Cutler previously served as a Pender County Deputy until 1995 when he transitioned into the role of a State Trooper.
Election results are not official until the Board of Elections completes the county-wide canvass.
