AGPD welcomes hometown newcomer Benton to force

Ash Grove native Riley Benton was officially sworn in and welcomed to the Ash Grove Police Department last week with a ceremony during the Ash Grove Board of Aldermen meeting. While Benton is new to the department he’s very familiar with the surroundings, as he was a 2017 graduate of Ash Grove High School.
