Hogan was appointed sheriff after former Sheriff Terry Jones and former Undersheriff Mykol Brookshire were charged with taking money from a motorist during a traffic stop. Both have since pleaded guilty and are serving prison terms.

County officials say Undersheriff Mike Daniels will be in charge of the sheriff's office until the June election.
