There was a steady stream of visitors to the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office all day long yesterday (Monday) as people paid their respects and thanked Sheriff Doug Bass for his years of service. Bass, whose retirement becomes effective today, was also celebrating his 65th birthday yesterday. Emotions were high as the sound of laughter and even some tears echoed throughout the Carroll Courthouse lower level. Bass is retiring after being a member of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office for 43 years and serving as Sheriff for the past 24. Photos of the event can be seen below.
