Marion Sheriff to comply with new license law claims
Marion County Sheriff Leonard L. Napple, one of two sheriffs absent from a Charleston DMV meeting, says he will comply with the new license renewal law. He notes the law allows sheriffs to issue renewals but not first licenses and questions costs, space, and equipment. DMV and county officials cite staffing and computer concerns as obstacles, with calls to repeal the act and warnings of potential law enforcement delays.
