Riverside County sheriff to resign
Riverside County Sheriff Bob Doyle announced his abrupt resignation Wednesday to accept a gubernatorial appointment to the state parole board, county officials said.
Board of Supervisors Chairman John F. Tavaglione said Doyle called him about noon to alert him that the governor’s office called that morning and he expected the appointment to be announced soon.
Tavaglione said Doyle had told him the parole board appointment was “intriguing and interesting to him.”
He anticipated that Doyle would step down four to six weeks after formally being appointed to the board and publicly announcing his departure.
