The following is a press release from Sheriff's Attorney Erin Gould in rebuttal to BOC press release yesterday. PRESS RELEASE: October 16, 2025 Curry County Sheriff is Not Required to Attend Meetings, Is Awarded Summary Judgment on Most Contested Dispute with the Curry County Board of Commissioners. BOC Attempts to Mislead the Public with Press Release. The Curry County Board of Commissioners issued a press release on October 15, 2025 providing limited and misleading information to the public about a recent ruling by Judge Martin Stone in Curry County Circuit Court. The BOC’s headline was “Curry County Board of Commissioners Receives Summary Judgment in Case Against Sheriff John Ward.” What the press release fails to mention is that the Court denied the BOC’s motion for summary judgment on the most contested issues contained in Board Order 23510. In fact, the Court granted the Sheriff’s motion for summary judgment on the provision in the order that directed the Sheriff to attend meetings. The Court declared that it was unlawful for the BOC to order Sheriff Ward to attend meetings. The Court also ordered trial to proceed to determine if the BOC can order the Sheriff to provide documents to the BOC and County Counsel. The items that the BOC “won” summary judgment on were largely not contested by Sheriff Ward. Sheriff Ward is pleased with the outcome of the cross motions for summary judgment hearing and looks forward to moving forward with his job of protecting the peace of Curry County. For more information, contact Erin Gould or Sheriff Ward.
