CLARKE COUNTY, Ala. — The coroner in Clarke County was arrested Tuesday by the Clarke County Sheriff’s Office, authorities said. The arrest stems from an incident that occurred several months ago while he was also working for the sheriff’s office.
Mitchell Finney was arrested on two counts of assault. He has since bonded out.
According to a grand jury indictment, one count charges that Finney caused physical injury by punching a person in the face, in violation of the Code of Alabama.
