ARKANSAS CITY, Ark. — U.S. Senators John Boozman (R-AR) and Tom Cotton (R-AR) applauded the announcement that Gary Grimes has been nominated by the Biden administration to serve as the U.S. Marshal for the Western District of Arkansas.
“Gary Grimes is a devoted public servant with a lifetime of dedication to safety and law enforcement. I am confident he will continue to build on his distinguished record serving Arkansas as a U.S. Marshal. I look forward to supporting him on the Senate floor,” Boozman said.
“Gary Grimes has faithfully served the people of Arkansas for decades as a law enforcement officer, a sheriff, and in the Governor’s office. I expect that he will do the same as U.S. Marshal for the state’s Western District. I support his nomination and I look forward to his confirmation in the Senate,” Cotton said.
Grimes is the principal owner of Grimes & Associates, LLC, a law enforcement, security, and government affairs consultancy, since 2011.
Grimes has served in several law enforcement capacities including as Liaison to Law Enforcement and Emergency Management for Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe from 2007 to 2011.
Before that role, Grimes served as a law enforcement officer in Missouri, Oklahoma, and Arkansas: including as the Sheriff of Sebastian County from 1989 to 1999.
