Board votes unanimously to appoint Rock to fill position

OREGON — Interim Ogle County State’s Attorney Mike Rock was unanimously voted Tuesday night to permanently replace his predecessor, former Ogle County State’s Attorney Ben Roe, at the Ogle County Board meeting.

Rock was named interim state’s attorney on Jan. 7 when Roe stepped down to serve as a judge in the 15th Judicial Circuit.

Nominating Rock for the position was Ogle County Chairman Kim Gouker.
