A Northern California sheriff is facing felony charges for allegedly filing false voter registration and nomination papers with a nonpermanent address, prosecutors said.
Del Norte County District Attorney Katherine Micks announced the charges — including perjury, filing false voter registration and false declaration of candidacy — against acting Sheriff Randall Waltz last week.
Waltz, formerly the county's undersheriff, was appointed to the top job in September after his predecessor abruptly resigned. After announcing plans to run in the primary election this June, he listed on his voter registration a Smith River address where he did not permanently reside, court documents say.
