RIO GRANDE — George J. Hallett, Democratic candidate for sheriff in the November election, is a former White House Secret Service officer, not an agent, as reported here.
The error occurred in the editing process, and was not made by the candidate. It went unnoticed in a March 26 announcement of Hallett’s candidacy here.

Hallett included both press releases previously sent in which he refers to himself as a Secret Service officer.
