Sam Houston Randolph

The constable approached the sheriff in a local grocery store as the sheriff was campaigning for re-election. In the ensuing argument the constable produced a gun and shot Sheriff Randolph in the chest.
The constable was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to five years in prison.
