Swenson named JP2 during medical leave
Henrietta attorney John Swenson was sworn in to temporarily serve as Montague County Justice of the Peace 2 Jack Pigg as the judge undergoes surgery and recovery.
The commissioner’s court went into a 10-minute executive session Monday to discuss the JP position. Back in open session, County Judge Kevin Benton said Pigg will be out for a period of time after a medical procedure and they will need to appoint a temporary JP.
Retired Clay County JP John Swenson was named to the position Monday.
