Chris Tinsley has resigned from his post as Randall County Constable #1.
Tinsley tendered his resignation this week and members of the Randall County Commission voted to accept the resignation on Tuesday. Commissioners voted to accept the resignation as the first order of business during Tuesday's meeting.
According to information on the Randall County website, Tinsley has served as constable for Randall County's precinct 1 since 2009. Prior to that, Tinsley served in various positions from 1981 until 2008 with the Canyon Police Department.
Most recently, Randall County voters re-elected Tinsley in 2016, as he ran unopposed.
Randall County Commissioners will now consider appointing a replacement for Tinsley. A date has not been set and no candidates have been publicly considered for the position, as of Thursday afternoon.
