KXLY reports:

During a town hall he hosted on Tuesday, Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich announced he won’t run for re-election. 

Instead, Sheriff Knezovich says he plans to go back to school for his master’s and eventually pursue a career teaching college students. 

Knezovich made the announcement at the conclusion of “The Threats We Face”, a meeting hosted by the “Republicans of Spokane County” club (an anti-Matt Shea group).
