Hearing Delayed for Former Sheriff Joe Craig


OKLAHOMA CITY

An appeal hearing regarding the suspension of former Seminole County Sheriff Joe Craig's peace officer certification that was scheduled today has been continued.

Craig's attorney, Rob Pyron, said he's not sure when Craig's hearing with the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training will be rescheduled. The hearing was set to determine whether Craig's certification was removed properly.

Craig's certification was suspended by the agency for one year in February after he pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor crimes including contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The suspension made him ineligible to serve as sheriff, prompting county commissioners to appoint Sheriff Shannon Smith on Feb. 23.
