There will not be a special runoff election for Baker County Sheriff.

The Georgia Supreme Court has unanimously reversed a Superior Court decision that threw out a runoff election won by Sheriff Dana Meade last year.

The ruling means Meade will serve a four-year term for Sheriff that begin in January of this year.

Meade defeated Tim Williamson by 39 votes in the runoff election last August.
