OSSIPEE — The long simmering feud between the county sheriff and a Conway state representative finally came to a head last week. Rep. Frank McCarthy extended an olive branch but the sheriff remained skeptical.

Since last winter, State Rep. Frank McCarthy (R-Conway) had alleged that county sheriff Christopher Conley inappropriately purchased about $200 worth of boots and gloves with county money. McCarthy said that, unlike unionized deputies, the sheriff has no clothing allowance. The sheriff counters that the boots and the gloves are necessary equipment for work.
