2020 News Relese


December 2020

​Christmas came early for the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office last week. Area businesses and citizens donated a specially built rifle and presented it to sheriff’s deputies on Saturday.

The project began when Mr. Bill Ross learned the office did not have a dedicated long range sniper rifle. Ross, a long time supporter of law enforcement who previously owned and operated a firearms business out of state before moving to Lyon County, began speaking to several leaders and businesses in the community, including Akridge Farm Supply, McEnaney Enterprises, Dr. David French, and others, who all agreed to help financially support the project.

On Saturday during an impromptu presentation before Christmas, Ross was joined by Paul Akridge and Joe McEnaney at Akridge Farm Supply in Eddyville when they officially donated the rifle to sheriff’s office staff.

Two members of the office will be trained and certified with this new rifle. Sheriff Brent White named Deputies Joe Witherspoon and Seth P’Pool as those who will receive the special assignment, additional training, and extra responsibilities associated with the new weapon.
White stated the two deputies selected are law enforcement veterans who also have extensive military service records; Witherspoon in the US Army and P’Pool in the Marine Corps.

The weapon is a Diamondback DB10, AR10 carrier with a multi-caliber bolt. The primary caliber to be used by the sheriff’s office is .308 Winchester.  It features a mid-length gas system and a high pressure firing pin. It came equipped with a collapsible stock, a lifetime warranty Vortex optic, and a collapsible bi-pod as well as a rugged hard plastic carrying case.

Sheriff White thanked those who supported this donation and stated obtaining this equipment would not have been possible without the generosity of these leaders and businesses. “We hope we never have to use this weapon in a real life situation, but if we are ever forced to, these men will meet evil with a heavy .308 win mag round of patience if necessary,” explained Sheriff White.
