Scioto County Sheriff David Thoroughman swore in four deputies and one corrections officer.
In his statement, Sheriff Thoroughman said:
“I had the pleasure of swearing in four deputies and a correctional officer this morning, April 8, 2022. Our newest deputies are Alicia Underwood, Alicia Yelley, Megan Carver and Gary “Matt” Murnahan. Our newest correctional officer is Rebecca Davila.”
Deputies Underwood, Yelley, and Carver have been employed with the Sheriff’s Office as correctional officers. Deputy Underwood has been with the Sheriff’s Office since 9/17/2018, Deputy Yelley since 3/15/2021, and Deputy Carver since 11/15/2021.
In order to advance their careers as deputies, they attended the Portsmouth Police Academy. Working together, the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office and the Portsmouth Police Department were able to establish this academy in order to reduce both departments’ staff shortages.
