WAVERLY – Pike County has plucked its new sheriff from the ranks of the prosecutor’s office.
The Pike County commissioners on Friday morning approved Charles Reader as interim sheriff to fill the post vacated by Sheriff Richard Henderson, who decided to leave the position for a job as a security specialist for ongoing cleanup work at the former atomic plant in Piketon.
Henderson, who was first elected to the post in 2008, gave commissioners his two week’s notice May 8, and his final day was Friday.
This will be Reader’s fourth stint with the sheriff’s office. He worked there for a time starting in 1998 under former Sheriff Larry Travis and then returned for a stint in 2006.
Reader also has served as a detective with the Waverly Police Department during his career.
Pike County Prosecutor Rob Junk has had reason to work with Reader several times over the new sheriff’s career, including the past six years in the prosecutor’s office. “One of the things that’s really going to help us in the prosecutor’s office is Charlie was involved with actively preparing cases for grand jury, that was one of his main jobs for the last couple of years,” Junk said.
