ST. LOUIS — Anthony Anderson, a North County Police Cooperative detective, has ended his candidacy for ºüÀêÊÓƵ sheriff in the Aug. 6 Democratic primary.
Anderson's withdrawal Wednesday leaves two candidates in the primary race — incumbent Vernon Betts and Alfred Montgomery, a former sheriff's deputy who lost to Betts four years ago.
Anderson, who also is a former ºüÀêÊÓƵ police detective, said he will now support Montgomery. The winner will face Libertarian candidate Joy Dabney in the November general election. No Republican has filed.
