COLONY — A Colony City Council member with a felony drug conviction has resigned.
Steve Wallace, who is serving probation agreed to a deal in which he was convicted on a felony charge of marijuana distribution last year, has resigned because of his felony conviction and loss of voting privileges. The Anderson County Review reported there was some question as to whether Wallace could continue serving on the council but he resigned before the city answered the question. Under the city charter, Colony Mayor Neal Wallace has the authority to name a new council member. Steve Wallace was elected to the council last year even though he had been charged with several drug-related crimes.
