Sheriff investigated for alleged misconduct

Gov. Brian Kemp has signed an executive order to investigate alleged misconduct by a sheriff of Towns County,

The order signed on Friday comes after a request from the Georgia Sheriffs’ Association.

The committee, tasked with investigating the allegations against Kenneth Henderson, includes Attorney General Christopher Carr, Sheriff Lenn Wood of Coweta County, and Sheriff Ezell Brown of Newton County.

This action follows the association’s concerns that Henderson is not fulfilling his duties due to alleged misconduct.

The committee has been given 30 days to complete its investigation and report its findings to the governor.

The specific allegations against Henderson have not been detailed in the order.
