The Natrona County sheriff is stepping down after working for the office for nearly 40 years. Sheriff Mark Benton announced Monday that he will retire at the end of the month due to unspecified health concerns. The 62-year-old started working in the sheriff's office as a deputy in 1974. Benton's term expires in 2014. Since he is a Republican, the GOP will pick three candidates to replace him. County commissioners will pick 1 of them to serve as the new sheriff. Undersheriff David Kinghorn will serve as acting sheriff until a decision is made.
