TYLER — The Smith County Commissioners Court has appointed Shawn Scott, a retired law enforcement officer and security company executive, as interim Precinct 2 constable. Officials say Precinct 1 Commissioner Neal Franklin serves the same area as the Precinct 2 constable, so he led the search. According to a news release, Scott will begin serving as soon as he takes the oath of office and meets the bonding requirements. He’ll fill the post until a new constable takes office following next year’s election. Former Precinct 2 Constable Josh Black was removed from office after being found guilty of official oppression. He’s now serving time for that offense. Click here for further details.
