And then there was the boar in the bar...

Victoria Advocate - Top Stories: "Bobby Byrne, surrounded by friends and co-workers, officially ended 30 years in law enforcement recently during a retirement celebration in the district courtroom of the Goliad County Courthouse.

Byrne, whose father F.B. 'Parrot' Byrne was Goliad County sheriff from 1961-1986 and a 'highway patrol' before that, was presented a special plaque commemorating his 16 years of 'official' service with the county.

Bobby grew up working in the jail. The slightly built, soft-spoken Byrne recalled growing up a sheriff's son.

'We lived in the jail basically. Where we grew up was attached to the jail. I was down in the office quite a bit. There was no getting away from it. We helped Mother (Waldine) serve prisoner meals. Later on, we played with trustees. It was no big deal,' said Byrne."
