About this episode
Kyle Overmyer served as Ohio’s youngest sheriff, getting elected to the position at just age 34. But his success in that position was overshadowed by a four-year prison sentence after he was caught stealing items that had been confiscated by other law enforcement officers. Now, he’s out of prison, out of law enforcement, and doing his part to Knock Out Addiction as a public speaker and recovery advocate.
