A 9-year-old girl will get to be sheriff for a day in Bartholomew County.

Kyria Rodriguez was the winner of the contest after donating 1,100 items to the Pack-a-Patrol-Car drive to benefit Love Chapel and Salvation Army food banks.

The sheriff’s department delivered almost a ton and a half of food this morning to Love Chapel at the end of the food drive, which began during the Ethnic Expo parade last month.

Kyria will be able to follow the sheriff during his normal duties including a tour of the jail, introductions to department staff members, attending meetings and having lunch with Sheriff Matt Myers.

The food drive, organized by Tammy Johnson and Jessica Niese, concluded yesterday at the end of normal business hours. This was the third annual Pack-a-Patrol-Car effort and it generated 2,934 pounds of non-perishable food and personal hygiene items.
