They didn't like being dogcatchers

Two Wilson County constables forced from office because they didn't bother getting their peace officer licenses within 270 days of getting elected:

Both men were being paid less than $200 a year to be constables in Wilson County - a role that traditionally carries little duties in the county, according to Wilson County Judge Marvin Quinney.

Quinney said sheriff's deputies handle most of the constable's work in Wilson County.

I don't know why the position of "constable" was ever created in this county. I think it must have just been so someone's cousin could wear a badge and look tough. Would you put yourself at risk by actually taking part in law-enforcement-type activities for only $200 a year? I wouldn't.
