Before completing her term as Attorney General to become Lt. Governor, Leslie Rutledge named “officers of the year” for all 75 Arkansas Counties.

What is unique is that in neighboring counties in Southeast Arkansas, a father and son received the honor.

Tyler Grant, the son, is an Arkansas State Trooper, based in Drew County. He had previously served in law-enforcement as a Drew County Sheriffs Deputy.

Mitch Grant, the father, was a career Arkansas State Trooper, achieving the rank of senior, corporal, and was elected Desha County Sheriff, to begin his term in 2023.
