Sheriff Catron was running for a fifth term as sheriff.
His former deputy, Jeff Morris, who was campaigning against him, and Kenneth White, a well-known drug dealer, conspired to commit the murder.

A memorial for Sam Catron can be viewed by the public directly across from the fire department, where Catron fell beside his police cruiser.
