New Clayton County Sheriff Kem Kimbrough made quite an impact on his first day behind the desk Thursday, reportedly firing 14 deputies.According to Kimbrough, the firings were part of his campaign promise to clean up the department. The new sheriff said he has put in plan a new code of conduct that will rely on integrity and honesty. Those now out of a job have a different story.
Some of the former deputies allege they were removed because of their ties with the former sheriff, Victor Hill. In his last week in office, Hill, who lost in an election contest with Kimbrough earlier this year, filed for bankruptcy.
One television report noted that Kimbrough claimed the former sheriff “hired outcasts, thugs and rejects from every agency.”
