WACO, Texas — Falls County has a new Sheriff in town.
Voters in Falls County decided to oust Sheriff Joe Lopez in favor of Jason Campbell on Election Day.
Campbell received 71.9% of Falls County votes against Lopez's 28.1%.
Lopez had faced criticism after multiple dogs were found malnourished at the Marlin Animal Shelter in June, which sparked an online petition for the Texas Rangers to investigate further.
Lopez was voted as Falls County Sheriff in 2020 when he beat Sheriff Ricky Scaman.
