Letter to the Editor and the Kiowa County Sheriff’s Office,

I would like to thank Lonnie Eder and Scott Pearcey for stopping traffic on Highway 287 the afternoon of May 26 for the funeral procession of their father-in-law, and my brother, Larry Watts, a longtime and prominent resident, as well as a former law enforcement officer of Kiowa County.

I would like a public apology from the Kiowa County Sheriff’s office to Larry’s family, especially his wife, Linda, also an employee of Kiowa County, with her office located right next-door to the sheriff’s office.
