FREMONT COUNTY – Republican Allen Cooper has handily won the election for Fremont County Sheriff by carrying more than 60% of the vote.
Earlier this year, Cooper told News5 his idea to address the illegal drug problem is to “develop a prolific offender program for those people that are committing the most egregious crimes in the drug arena. They need to have some stiff sentences handed down to them.”
