Gov. Sonny Perdue has ordered an investigation into reports that Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill has abandoned his office.
Hill reportedly vacated the office when he lost his re-election bid in August. If the investigation confirms rumors of a cleared-off desk and an AWOL "chief law enforcement officer," the governor could suspend the sheriff during the last two months of Hill's term.
