According to a report, the Clay County Commission issued Clay County Sheriff Allen King a letter requiring changes to his administration to align with the commission’s wishes within 30 days, or he could face removal from office. The West Virginia law governing the removal of county officers, including sheriffs, is W. Va. Code § 6-6-7, which outlines the legal grounds and procedures for removal.
Further details regarding the letter, the requested changes, and the commission’s next steps are expected to follow as more information becomes available.
