Judge Bryant "F--kman" Durham is retiring next year.

Floyd County's chief judge has made it official, he won't be running for office again in 2020.

Judge J. Bryant Durham took up the role of chief judge when Judge Tami Colston retired in December 2018, and will pass that title on to Judge Jack Niedrach upon retirement.

"I have greatly enjoyed the opportunity. I've met a lot of good people and I hope I helped people when I could and hope the community is better for it," Durham said.

He served four full terms in office and one partial term when he was appointed to the bench in 2003 by then-Gov. Sonny Perdue, to finish the unexpired term of Judge Robert Walther. He was elected to his first full term in 2004
