Seven months after the nomination by President Donald Trump, the U.S. Senate has confirmed Coweta County Sheriff Michael Yeager as the U.S. marshal for the Northern District of Georgia.

“Sheriff Yeager has decades of experience in many facets of law enforcement, and his wisdom and expertise in the field will serve him well as U.S. Marshal,” Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Georgia, said in a news release Thursday, following the Wednesday vote. “The Senate has made a wise decision, and I congratulate Sheriff Yeager on his new role and thank him for his service.”
