Liberty County sheriff's trial began this week

Trial began this week for suspended Liberty County Sheriff Nicholas Lee Finch.

Finch was suspended in June and is facing charges of official misconduct for allegations that he destroyed or removed official arrest documents from the Liberty County Jail, making it appear as though an arrest never occurred. 

Finch is accused of illegally acting on behalf of a Liberty County man arrested in March for a concealed weapons charge.

The sheriff has said he took the actions because of his support for second amendment rights.

A jury was chosen in the case on Monday, the jury consists of two men and 6 women.

Walter Lee “Buddy” Money Jr. is serving as interim sheriff in Liberty County.

He was appointed to the position in July.
