ROANE COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Roane County Commissioners have passed a resolution to start the removal process of embattled Sheriff Matthew "Bo" Williams, according to the county prosecutor.

Williams resigned as an officer in the city of Spencer in December.

Court documents state that Williams admitted to removing controlled substances from other law enforcement evidence lockers and admitted to a 1 and a half year addiction to methamphetamine.

There is also physical evidence collected by law enforcement including open evidence bags with meth removed from the bags, according to the court order.
