Sheriff Schiele won a full term in the 1975 election, but he was unseated in 1979 by fellow Democrat John Patrick, an [[insurance]] agent. He then completed his college degree and was employed thereafter by the Probation and Paroles section of the Louisiana Department of Public Safety. Schiele attempted a comeback in 1987, when he challenged incumbent Sheriff Hubert Lee McGlothin (1940-2004), who had previously been the [[mayor]] of Ferriday.
