ELLICOTT CITY, Md. (AP) - Howard County Executive Allan Kittleman says several people have applied to be the next county sheriff, and there will be a new sheriff in place next month.
James Fitzgerald’s last day as sheriff was Saturday. He resigned under pressure after an investigation found he created a hostile work environment by belittling staffers and making racist and sexist comments. Gov. Larry Hogan will appoint his replacement.
Lt. Don Knott is serving as interim sheriff. Kittleman tells WBAL-TV (https://tinyurl.com/hqodurz) that Knott “is really happy to be able to have an opportunity to be able to help this healing process start.”
