ASHEBORO — 
Robert Graves, a retired state trooper, will be the next Randolph County sheriff.
Graves will take the oath of office at the Feb. 1 meeting of the Randolph County commissioners.
“I’m very humbled and excited to go to work,” Graves said Monday night moments after members of the Randolph County Republican Executive Committee tapped him as their nominee to fill the unexpired term of Sheriff Maynard Reid.
“I look forward to the challenge of working with all the fine employees at the sheriff’s office. I’m ready to go to work.”
