Would-be firefighter asks to serve despite felony record
A convicted felon, Charles W. Benfield, asked the Pocahontas Volunteer Fire Company to allow him to serve, saying he has paid his debt to society and is certified. The request was deferred to County Attorney Dennis Simmons, who cited local procedures barring felons from volunteer fire roles unless ordinances are amended, and noted state code forfeits office after felony conviction. Simmons will prepare a report and supervisors may review the matter later.
