Former Chambers County deputy told to move from county property
Former Chambers County chief deputy Dearl Hardy has two months to vacate county property at McCollum Park after being fired from the sheriff's department for policy violations. County Commissioner Bill Wallace noted Hardy no longer serves as a county employee and the park security role should be reassigned. Hardy's attorney Greg Cagle questioned the county's rationale, noting Hardy lived there before and during his tenure. The motion to vacate within 60 days passed unanimously.
