[QUOTE="WPLG, post: 35546, member: 158"] A Florida sheriff announced his retirement amid criticism that he moved outside the Jacksonville area despite a county charter requiring that he live there. In a statement, Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams said Thursday that he did not want to deal with a court battle over his move a year ago to neighboring Nassau County. Williams said he did not want a lengthy court battle over his residency. Williams had initially argued that state law does not require a sheriff to live in the county they serve, but the Jacksonville charter specifically requires it. The Jacksonville City Council will hold a special meeting Monday to set a date in August for a special election to fill the sheriff’s term.
