Christian Circuit Judge John Atkins on
Wednesday set a trial date of April 9, at 9:00 am.
In September, Redmon
entered a not guilty plea to charges of official misconduct and first
degree possession of a controlled substance. Redmon was indicted on
those charges in August. He's accused of stealing hydrocodone from
the sheriff department's drug drop box.
Redmon won re-election
on Tuesday, beating six write-in candidates.
Atkins has ruled that
Redmon can continue to perform his administrative duties as sheriff,
such as collecting taxes, but he is not to have any weapons and can't
perform any law enforcement duties until his case has ended.
