The Osage County Sheriff’s Department has lost a long time deputy. Deputy Terry Hollingsworth passed away early yesterday morning in an area hospital of natural causes. He was 62 years old. Deputy Hollingsworth joined the Osage County Sheriff’s Office in August 2022 after retiring from his Chief of Police duties with the Overbrook Police Department. Deputy Hollingsworth had also previously worked for the Lyndon Police Department part-time and held the rank of Sergeant.
Osage County Sheriff Chris Wells called Hollingworth a true professional and devoted public servant, and will be remembered for his heroism, bravery, and the Oath of Office he honorably upheld in his commitment to duty.
