Sheriff to resign

HUNTSVILLE — Scott County Sheriff Anthony has announced that he will resign his post, effective May 12.

At an impromptu press conference at the Scott County Office Building early Tuesday afternoon, Lay told reporters that he was pursuing a career with the U.S. Marshals Service.

"I was called last week and offered a position in Atlanta, which is where I wanted to go if I got a job offer. I decided today in our departmental meeting that I would take the job," Lay said. "I didn't want to decide until I had talked to my employees."

All but a handful of the Sheriff's Department's employees followed Lay and Chief Deputy Bobby Ellis to the Office Building in a show of support for Ellis, who will seek to be named interim sheriff.

"[Bobby] is an honorable man and has been an outstanding asset to me as well as this county in the position I have given him as chief deputy," Lay said.

Scott County Commission will appoint a replacement to Lay to serve until the newly-elected sheriff takes office on Sept. 1. The election is set for Aug. 5. Administrator of Elections Gabe Lowe confirmed Tuesday that it is too late for candidates to be added to or withdrawn from the ballot.
