Senators Cochran and Lott recommended Larry Wagster of Oxford be appointed U.S. Marshal in the Northern District. As an FBI agent, he was involved with planning, conducting and reporting investigations of alleged or suspected violations of U.S. law. Inc. He also served as an officer in the United States Marine Corps. Nehemiah Flowers of Brandon was recommended for U.S. Marshal in the Southern District. Flowers has been an executive assistant for Senator Cochran for 28 years in Cochran's office in Jackson.
Flowers also has an extensive military career.
He was on active duty in the U.S. Army from 1965-1968. He is currently serving as a Brigade Command Sergeant Major for the 5th Brigade Health Services 100th Division, U.S. Army Reserve, in Millington, Tennessee. He attended the University of Oklahoma on a football scholarship and is a graduate of Belhaven College. This decision follows a thorough consultation in which Senator Cochran and I considered many well-qualified Mississippians for recommendation. I believe the new administration and our country will be well-served by these outstanding people.
