In 2022, Sheriff Stan McGahee resigned after a federal investigation revealed he had taken a federal inmate out of the jail without authorization to visit the inmate’s elderly grandparents. This action violated both the sheriff’s office and U.S. Marshals Service policies. McGahee admitted to the misconduct, stating it was an act of compassion but acknowledged it was against policy. No monetary or political gain was involved. The incident jeopardized the county’s contract with the U.S. Marshals Service, which was a significant source of revenue for the county.
