Sheriff Ron Hewett Suspended From Office - Breaking News









BRUNSWICK COUNTY -- Brunswick County District Attorney's office has taken steps to remove Sheriff Ron Hewett from office.

It is WECT's understanding that Sheriff Hewett has been suspended, pending a court hearing scheduled for Monday.

Brunswick County District Attorney Rex Gore has called a news conference and Kim Gebbia is there.

Officials are asking for petition to remove Hewett from office and Coroner Greg White will act as the sheriff in his place.

Superior Court Judge Omar Lewis signed the suspension order Thursday afternoon.

Hewett is accused of being intoxicated while on the job, putting citizens in danger.

It is our understanding that this is a separate action from the Grand Jury proceeding looking into Hewett's actions.

Those proceedings began more than a year ago when Hewett, his family, friends, and deputies were served with subpoenas.

The most recent action on that front was in January when more subpoenas were served.

Those Grand Jury proceedings are closed, and no one has spoken about the exact nature of the investigation.

Sheriff Ron Hewett Suspended From Office - Breaking News


BRUNSWICK COUNTY -- Brunswick County District Attorney's office has taken steps to remove Sheriff Ron Hewett from office. Coroner Greg White will act as the sheriff in his place.

It is WECT's understanding that Sheriff Hewett has been suspended, pending a court hearing scheduled for Monday.

A formal petition from Rex Gore signed by Judge Ora Lewis officially removed Ron Hewett from his position as Sheriff of Brunswick County Thursday night.

Gore's investigation is hundreds of pages long. He has a binder with dozens of affidavits, recorded phone calls, and depositions from his fellow deputies, detectives, SBI agents, and more.

What they say inside the binder is nothing short of shocking.

Hewett is accused of being intoxicated while on the job, putting citizens in danger.

The main charges against the former sheriff are that he was on prescription pills several times on the job; including while he was behind the wheel of a Brunswick County Deputy car, and when he arrived on crime scenes ranging from traffic stops to homicides.

A detective described Hewitt arriving to crime scenes with slurred speech, red glassy eyes, and being unsteady on his feet.

The report also notes Hewett showing up at active SWAT scenes with his 17 year old son, Justin, interfering with evidence, and putting other deputies in danger.

Gore didn't say much about whether criminal charges will follow for Hewett.

It is our understanding that this is a separate action from the Grand Jury proceeding looking into Hewett's actions.

Those proceedings began more than a year ago when Hewett, his family, friends, and deputies were served with subpoenas.

The most recent action on that front was in January when more subpoenas were served.

Those Grand Jury proceedings are closed, and no one has spoken about the exact nature of the investigation.

There will be a closed door meeting Friday with the employees at the Sheriff's Department, and a formal hearing for the petition on Monday at noon.

Hewett is not required to attend that meeting, but it will give his lawyers an opportunity to challenge the petition.

WOW that is awesome!!!
