Youngest County Sheriff In Tennessee History
In the first tale of revenge, a boxer-turned-cop takes the law into his own hands to make mafia mobsters accountable for his wife’s murder. Many often remember Bulford Pusser as a sheriff who transitioned into a vigilante after dedicating most of his life to public service. He started as a policeman, then a marine and part-time wrestler, quickly becoming known as “Bulford the Bull” because of his tall and well-built stature.
While working in Chicago, he met Pauline, who soon became his wife, and they moved to Pusser’s hometown in McNairy County, Tennessee. Bulford quickly ascended the law enforcement service’s ranks, achieving the position of chief of police. Later, at the age of 27, he won the county sheriff election, earning the distinction of becoming the youngest county sheriff in Tennessee history, a truly remarkable achievement.
