Norris is accused of using tens of thousands of dollars in loans intended for jail expenses to pay off personal debts.Norris resigned in May 2021 after the allegations came to light. A federal grand jury in Mobile handed up an indictment in March.We’re told four of those loans, totaling nearly 50 thousand dollars were said to be for jail food and the sheriff’s office.
