In 2019, Sheriff Jonathon Horton faced multiple ethics complaints alleging that he dismissed or requested resignations from members of the county’s reserve unit who had supported the former sheriff, Todd Entrekin. The complaints suggested these actions were politically motivated. Horton denied the allegations, stating that many supporters of the former sheriff remained in office and that he would retain only those he deemed fit for the reserve unit. The matter was referred to his attorney for further handling. ([wvtm13.com](https://www.wvtm13.com/article/ethics-complaint-filed-against-etowah-county-sheriff/26933286?utm_source=openai))”
