Worley not facing criminal charges

Barrow County District 3 Commissioner Steve Worley is not facing criminal charges in connection with his recent termination as the public works director for the City of Monroe. Asked by the Barrow Journal to clarify whether the ongoing investigation is an internal probe of alleged violations of city polices and procedures, or a criminal probe, the city’s interim administrator responded in an email Tuesday that it is “internal.” Absent criminal charges, Worley cannot be forced out of his seat on the Barrow County Board of Commissioners. And he has expressed no intention of stepping down voluntarily.
