Six Deputies Resigned/Terminated in Clarke County

An open letter was reportedly sent to CCHT citing concerns that deputies had little to no control over certain matters within the department.

Sources say the deputies attempted to submit their resignations but were subsequently terminated by Chief Deputy Billy Lewis.

We are currently awaiting a response from Sheriff Anthony Chancelor regarding the situation.

The following deputies are no longer with the department:

• Sgt. Andy Lafferty

• Sgt. Steve Whitaker

• Sgt. Kenneth Hollifield

• Deputy Peyton Kennedy

• Deputy Ellis Ray Dogget

• Don Moore

This is a developing story. More updates will be provided as information becomes available.
