“This morning I resigned from the Sheriff’ Office. During the past week an incident occurred that presented several alternatives. I made the decision to resign or drag out an investigation. Two parties involved, two different stories. I didn’t deceive anyone; however the Grayson County Sheriff’s doesn’t need anymore dramatics. I have enjoyed my service to the Sheriff’s Office since 2003. I want to thank my supporters and the ones, that loved me. I know I’ve let you down, but I assure you the pain runs deep into my veins. I truly am sorry. I don’t expect an phone calls and I will shut facebook down at the close of this message. May our God bless each of you.”

David Russell, who is seeking the office of Sheriff of Grayson County, posted to his Facebook page this morning announcing his resignation from the Sheriff’s Office. There was no information about whether he would continue his campaign or not – until tonight, when his campaign camp cleared things up this evening about his resignation.
This statement was posted on his campaign page: “Attention Supporters! Just want to clear up any confusion that may be out there: While David Russell is no longer with the Sheriff’s office, he is still running for Sheriff! He is 100% committed to winning the office of Grayson County Sheriff and will be spending all of his time on the effort. Thank you for your continued support!”
Earlier this morning, this statement was posted to his regular Facebook page:
