## Resource

Sheriff Randy Smith faces serious charges after allegedly choking and beating a man at a Madisonville steakhouse, sparking outrage and calls for his resignation. The state attorney general stepped in for an impartial investigation, and a bail bondsman was also arrested for allegedly signaling the attack. Smith’s chief deputy has already quit, and a potential deal—including his resignation—is expected in court soon. Meanwhile, the sheriff’s office is pushing for a millage renewal to fund operations, urging voters to separate personal legal troubles from public safety needs.
