[I]n Georgia, a former Bibb County Deputy of the Year was reportedly charged with DUI for drunkenly directing nonexistent traffic outside an elementary school; and the mayor of McColl, South Carolina, died in a car crash while being pursued on the highway by a county deputy sheriff for unknown reasons only days after his entire police force resigned.
