Gov. Brian Kemp has suspended a Georgia sheriff facing charges of sexual battery and violating his oath of office.

Kemp signed an executive order Monday suspending Miller County Sheriff Richard Morgan for 60 days. Kemp acted on a recommendation by state Attorney General Chris Carr and two other Georgia sheriffs who reviewed the case.
