The general counsel for Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear ordered the sheriff accused of gunning down a judge in his chambers to resign by the end of the week or face removal proceedings. In a letter Wednesday, S. Travis Mayo told Letcher County Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines that if he does not tender his resignation to the Letcher county judge/executive by the end of Friday that he will move forward with removing Stines under a state law that allows governors to fire peace officers for neglect.
Letcher County Judge/Executive Terry Adams did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A Kentucky State Police spokesman has said the shooting at the Letcher County courthouse occurred after an argument inside the building. Authorities have not disclosed a possible motive. Three days before the shooting, Stines was deposed for nearly four hours in connection with the federal lawsuit, which alleges the deputy abused a woman inside Mullins’ chambers, according to the victim’s lawyer.
