A Georgia sheriff has resigned effective immediately after he pleaded guilty to groping Judge Glenda Hatchett. Channel 2's Cobb County Bureau Chief Michele Newell was inside the courtroom Monday when Bleckley County Sheriff Kris Coody entered the plea to sexual battery charge. With the guilty plea, Coody agreed to 12-month probation, 40 hours of community service, a $500 fine and he agreed to complete an alcohol and drug course. He also sent a resignation letter to Gov. Brian Kemp and the Georgia sheriffs association.
