Retiring Bates County Prosecutor Hugh Jenkins has had an impressive career- 39 years as Prosecutor which is a Missouri record. To honor him and this accomplishment, a reception was held this week at the Bates County Courthouse with co-workers, friends and associates. Included in the festivities, two proclamations were presented honoring his achievements- one by the Bates County Sheriff's Office and the other by Missouri State Representative Dane Diehl.
All during which Jenkins got plenty of advice on things to do with his upcoming post-career free time.
Relaxing? Fishing? Not likely. Hugh indicated his plans are to stay busy as usual and we'll probably still see him around on a regular basis.
Mid America Live is planning to do an in-depth interview to gain insight on his career following his official last day in office, December 31st, when assistant prosecutor Cody Johnson will take over the position.
