FRANKLIN COUNTY BORN & RAISED
Born and raised in Louisburg, Tim Gupton has lived in Franklin County his entire life. He grew up on the family farm and in the construction business. It’s the kind of upbringing that forges genuine work ethic and a lasting connection to this community.
Tim worked as a state probation officer and then served more than two decades as a federal officer with the U.S. Probation Office, where he conducted investigations for federal judges, supervised offenders across six Eastern NC counties, and led high-profile operations in active partnership with the DEA, ATF, FBI, and U.S. Marshals Service. Promoted to Senior U.S. Probation Officer in 2019, he was responsible for ensuring officer accountability and offender oversight across the entire Eastern District of North Carolina.
Now Tim is ready to put all of it to work for the people as the Sheriff of Franklin County.
