Deputy Brandon Moore retires from the Sheriff’s Office after a colorful career

By Tay­lor Kaser -

Deputy Bran­don Moore is now retired from his duties serv­ing the Mor­row County Sheriff’s Office. Moore’s suc­cess­ful career saw him serve as a detec­tive for the Sheriff’s Office.

Many peo­ple in Mor­row County and across the coun­try are famil­iar with Moore after he was injured dur­ing a dis­pute in 2010. Moore was shot five times dur­ing an alter­ca­tion between a land owner and a man grow­ing mar­i­juana in the east­ern part of the county.

He later went on to win the national America’s Most Wanted “All Star Award” for 2012.

Now that he’s retired, Moore says he’s inter­ested in pur­su­ing some­thing in the min­istry. He’s only one class away from receiv­ing his Associate’s degree in Bib­li­cal stud­ies. Already hav­ing expe­ri­ence in com­put­ers, Moore says that’s also an option.

Pub­lic speak­ing is some­thing that Moore has had his fair share of since he was injured in duty, and he plans to con­tinue speaking.

Author might just be Moore’s next title, he’s work­ing on writ­ing a book, cur­rently called “Courage Under Fire.”

Moore said one of his favorite things about work­ing for the Sheriff’s office was see­ing a big inves­ti­ga­tion finaaly come together, and get­ting the big picture.

In the short term, he says he’s look­ing for­ward to being able to “do his own thing.” For the long term, he says he’s ready to do what­ever the Lord wants.
