Noble County sheriff resigns, faces criminal charges in ethics ...

After 36 years of administering his sometimes-controversial brand of justice, Noble County Sheriff Landon T. Smith resigned today amid criminal charges that he allowed his wife, who is a deputy in his office, to misuse a county vehicle.

I dont think he deserves to go to JAIL because somebody else wanted his job and complained about it!!! So I think it so STUPID!!!!!!!!

[Bryan Bell]

I think it is so stupid for them to complain about that!

Come visit Noble county now, but lock your doors and make sure your children have their bikes inside. This is no longer a safe county, for the first time in my life my doors have to now be locked. Grow up?? Maybe you should smarten up.

Landon was and still is a kind man and he knew what he was doing.. it's aparant that the people in jail respected him because NOBODY ever ran from his farm when they were there working. someone was jealous of him and wanted his job. the county loves and respect you landon and your wife peggy....
