County officials say the petition was not submitted by Tuesday's deadline. The drive needed to gather about 2,000 signatures to be successful.
A group of Eureka-area residents began circulating a petition to recall Lincoln County Sheriff Daryl Anderson over job performance and other issues.
Anderson says none of the group's accusations had any merit.
What has this Sheriff done to warrant a recall? Did the Sheriff violate his oath of office, or is someone after some payback?
