Stephenson County Coroner Timothy J. Leamon resigns
FREEPORT Stephenson County Coroner Tim Leamon has resigned from his office less than two months after pleading guilty to possession of a controlled substance, a Class 4 felony.
Leamon sent letter of resignation to the County Board on Thursday afternoon. He could not be reached for comment. I would like to thank the County Board for allowing me to build this department into what it is today, Leamon s resignation letter states. Because of that cooperation I have no doubt that this will be a seamless transition.
The process to fill the coroner s office vacancy is already underway, Stephenson County Board Chairman Bill Hadley said.
