A sheriff is first introduced when Walt Griffin reports on two mysterious space craft appear in a meadow. The spacecraft are gone, having just launched into the night sky—which the sheriff writes off as shooting stars ^{(1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I")}.

This same sheriff later drives up to the Maggies Truck Heaven diner, passing by Troy and Dillon as they wave in his direction, since his car had just passed the bus that Hamilton was on. He stops to ask if they need any help, but they politely decline.

After driving up to the diner and buying an edition of The Daily News paper, he notes that they are wanted for the attempted kidnapping of Dr. Mortinson and pursue in a short chase. Troy and Dillon swiftly escape the chase, activating their turbines' flight systems and flying off into the air. He later stops on the side of the road, telling the dispatcher, Harvey, that he wasn't feeling too well ^{(1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part III")}.

The unnamed sheriff is played by Ted Gehring.

After witnessing the Galacticans' night planting and the arrival of the anti-gravity ship, John Steadman summons a sheriff and his deputy to arrest the "illegal aliens" at Alonzo Farm. While truthful about what he saw, Stockton's tale is seen as unbelievable and he is met with incredulity, and the sheriff soon decides in the favor of the Alonzos and the Galacticans ^{(1980: "Space Croppers")}.

The unnamed sheriff is played by Kenneth Tobey, who was uncredited for this role. He has since been identified using computer-aided face recognition.
