Sheriff is the long (or short) arm of law in Dougal County, Georgia. It is unsure of where the Sheriff came from originally, but he is now a product of Dan Halen's sheriff cloning project. Clones of the Sheriff are grown in a local field. The cloned sheriff subplot served as a way to switch voice actors for the part. The original Sheriff (voiced by Charles Napier) was bludgeoned to death by his clone in Episode 7 (where Bobby Ellerbee took over as the voice of Sheriff), which would imply that the Sheriff played by Napier was not a clone, but the genetic source for Dan Halen's clones. Sheriff clones often meet a grisly end and it is common to see a new Sheriff from the cloning farm kill the current Sheriff to take his place.
