POINT PLEASANT — The bill to remove former Sheriff David L. Anthony from office has arrived and been paid by the Mason County Commission.
The county ended up paying around $10,000 to law firm Harris and Holmes out of Ripley which handled the commission’s request to begin removal procedures against Anthony. The county voted to begin this procedure in early January, shortly before Anthony was indicted by a grand jury on multiple counts. The saga to remove Anthony continued up until he agreed to a plea bargain in March and the commission agreed to stop the removal process.
This means for about two months of work, attorneys billed the county $10,000. Due to Anthony accepting a plea agreement, there is no way for the county to recoup those funds. Anthony’s sentencing on that plea agreement has been continued to May 21 in Mason County Circuit Court.
