Ex-sheriff and Elvis friend confirms as EE:UK guestThe rather debonair gentleman on the left is none other than Gene Barksdale, ex-sheriff of Shelby County. Gene was a close friend to Elvis and his father Vernon and it was he who swore Elvis in as a special deputy sheriff in 1976. Gene received many great gifts from Elvis, including a beautiful pistol with engraved grips, which he still has.
