EUFAULA, OK -- McIntosh County Sheriff Joe Hogan has resigned.

During a county commission meeting Monday morning, Sheriff Joe Hogan submitted his resignation effective immediately.

County officials tell The News On 6, the position will not be filled until after a late June election.

Hogan was the subject of an investigation by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. That investigation was made at the request of the McIntosh County DA's office.

Hogan was appointed sheriff after former Sheriff Terry Jones and former Undersheriff Mykol Brookshire were charged with taking money from a motorist during a traffic stop. Both have since pleaded guilty and are serving prison terms.

County officials say Undersheriff Mike Daniels will be in charge of the sheriff's office until the June election.
