Denzil Lewis announces run for Sheriff

TERRE HAUTE, Ind (WTHI) - One more name was thrown into the hat for Vigo County Sheriff on Friday.

Friday afternoon, the chairman of the Republic Party Bill Treadway introduced Denzil Lewis as a new candidate for Sheriff at the Vigo County Courthouse.

Lewis has spent the past 23 years serving on the Terre Haute Police Department. During his time he has worked in the street crime unit, detective, and on the Vigo County Drug Taskforce.

"I have seen some of the things that have happened and I have seen some of the things that I would like to change. So I thought rather than sit around and talk about it why don't I try and change it," Denzil Lewis said.

Karen Cross, Greg Ewing, Tim Gossett and Jeff Trotter are also on the ballot.

The primary election will be on Tuesday, May 4th.
