DRUG DEALERS, BEWARE: Rockingham Sheriff’s Office Gets Armored Vehicle Donation ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, N.C. — Drug dealers and anyone else thinking about making trouble in Rockingham County may want to rethink their plans. Sheriff Billy Parker and his deputies have a new piece of equipment designed to help keep officers and the public safer. The Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office has received a donated armored vehicle, giving deputies an additional layer of protection when responding to dangerous situations.
