Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear is asking Letcher County Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines to resign.
On Wednesday, Stines entered a not guilty plea to first-degree murder in the shooting death of Judge Kevin Mullins in his chambers last week.
Beshear wants Stines to resign by Friday.
If he doesn’t step down, the governor will move forward with removing Stines under a state law that allows him to fire peace officers for neglect.
