(KNZA)--A name was drawn from a hat at the Brown County Commission meeting Wednesday to break a 4-way tie for a township trustee position.

Commission Chairman Warren Ploeger drew the name of Brad Swearingen to win the position of Padonia Township Trustee.

Swearingen, Griff Howard, Chuck Bebermeyer and Mark Mueller each received two write-in votes during the November 8th general election.

No one filed for the position.
