Citrus County community heralds a ‘new day’ with Sheriff David Vincent

Citrus County’s newest Sheriff took the oath of office the same way he ran his campaign.

Before a crowd of local politicians, leaders and citizens, David Vincent was sworn into office on the steps of the Historic Citrus County Courthouse on a Tuesday that will long be remembered.

Community leaders who endured former Sheriff Mike Prendergast’s two terms beamed as Prendergast’s predecessor, Jeff Dawsy, administered the oath.

“He truly is the right man, right job, right now,” Dawsy said of Vincent.

Vincent said it’s time to look forward.

“We are stronger together,” he said. “I want you to remember that.”
