Clay County’s auditor has resigned because he has a felony conviction on his record. State law bars convicted felons such as William Norris from holding office. Norris had signed a document when he filed for the office saying he had never been convicted of a felony.
He was convicted of aggravated stalking in Grundy County in 2006.
The Clay County prosecutor has not said if he will file a criminal charge against Norris.
