Louisburg, N.C. — Franklin County Sheriff Pat Green resigned Sunday after more than 20 years at the sheriff's office and four years as sheriff, a county attorney said.
He cited "health and personal matters" as the reasons for his resignation.
Chief Deputy Elliott Pinnell will take over the sheriff's duties until the county commission appoints a replacement.
Green was elected sheriff in 2006 and re-elected in 2010.
