The Carroll County Sheriff’s Office is looking to hire a new deputy with previous police experience.

Clay Cable resigned as deputy Nov. 15.

“I resigned because of political reasons,” he said, referring to his bid for Carroll County judge-executive. “I need to spend more time on my campaign and visit the people. I’ve got a lot of work to do between now and May.”

Sheriff Jamie Kinman confirmed Cable’s resignation.
