Deputy Joseph McAtee, Democratic candidate for sheriff in Perry County, was incorrectly identified in a story about the sheriff's race in Tuesday's edition. McAtee also said the story gave the wrong reason why he was running for sheriff. McAtee said he is running "to restore the community's respect and confidence in county law enforcement." The Southeast Missourian regrets the error.
