Marshall, Conaway winners in Stokes

Sheriff candidates have deep ties to law enforcement

DANBURY (By Lisa O'Donnell; Winston-Salem Journal) - Two men with deep ties to Stokes County's law-enforcement community emerged as winners in yesterday's primary elections for sheriff.

Republican Mike Marshall, a patrol captain with the sheriff's office, easily defeated challengers Junior Palmer and Barry Lawson. Marshall, 46, picked up 3,042 votes, compared with 1,031 for Palmer and 246 for Lawson.

In the Democratic primary, Barry Conaway, a former police chief for Walnut Cove, received 927 votes to beat Richard Carol Bowman, who had 506 votes.

Marshall and Conaway will square off in the general election in November.
