A former Sedgwick County Sheriff and former Kansas Attorney General has died. Vern Miller was 92.
Miller served as Sheriff from 1964 until 1971, when he became Attorney General. He served in that office for four years. He also ran as the Democratic nominee for Governor in the 1974 elections.
Current Attorney General Derek Schmidt released a statement on the news of Miller’s death:
“Vern Miller’s four years of service as Kansas Attorney General left an indelible mark on the office. I was fortunate to meet Vern a few times and understand how his career of service as a law enforcement officer and prosecutor earned him the moniker that became the subtitle of his biography: Legendary Kansas Lawman. I offer my condolences to Vern’s wife, Paula, his family, friends, former staff and colleagues.”
