TYLER — Smith County Precinct 2 has a new interim constable. Shawn Scott was sworn in to office Friday morning by Precinct 2 Justice of the Peace Judge Andy Dunklin. Scott is a retired law enforcement officer and security company executive who was recently appointed by the Commissioners Court. According to press materials, Scott will 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.
