DELTON, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — An effort has been initiated to try to get Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf removed from office.
A man from Delton, who has chosen to remain anonymous, filed a petition earlier this week to ask Governor Whitmer to strip him of his position for abuse of power. misusing county funds, and not effectively representing the citizens of Barry County. Altogether, 13 instances of alleged misconduct by Leaf were listed in the petition.
The Sheriff has become known for challenging the validity of the November 2020 general election and earlier this month he made posts on Facebook about wanting to form a posse.
Under Michigan law, there is a process where the Governor can consider the removal of county officers. It begins with a review and then a recommendation from the state Attorney General’s office.
