From his palomino, Lightning, to his cowboy boots, DeKalb County’s new Sheriff Jimmy Harris fits the part.

“I rode my horse up the courthouse steps,” said Harris.

It’s something Harris calls a dream come true.

“Growing up as a child, if you think of sheriffs, you think of horses. And it’s just part of me. I’ve wanted to be sheriff all my life and started dreaming about it since about 1963. And you know, fooling with horses like I have all my life, I just, I wanted to come in on a horse,” said Harris.
