The Alabama Attorney General has launched impeachment proceedings against one of the state’s sheriffs.
Steve Marshall on Friday announced he filed an information of Impeachment and Prayer for Ouster against Clarke County Sheriff William Ray Norris. The information, filed with the Alabama Supreme Court on April 27, is not a criminal charge. Norris was served notice of the filing on Friday.
Efforts to reach Norris, who has served as sheriff since 2011, were not immediately successful.
The Attorney General’s Office began investigating Norris last year, which led to Marshall seeking the sheriff’s removal from office. Norris is accused of four instances of corruption in office and 11 instances of the commission of crimes involving moral turpitude. However, some of the specific allegations are alternate forms of charging the same conduct.

The Freedom Foundation failed to meet a deadline in several campaign finance lawsuits it brought against unions, the Washington State Supreme Court ruled in a recent 5-4 decision.
The conservative nonprofit think tank alleged to the attorney general and prosecutors that the unions had violated Washington’s Fair Campaign Practices Act by not reporting money spent on political activity.
After the government didn’t take enforcement action, the Freedom Foundation filed so-called “citizen actions,” in Superior Court, but not within a deadline required by state law at the time, a majority of the state’s high court ruled.
