Loganville councilman's impeachment trial starts Tuesday

LOGANVILLE - The impeachment trial of Loganville City Councilman Danny Byrd is expected to start Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. <br> <br> It is unknown whether Byrd will attend the proceedings. He is being held at the Walton County Jail serving a 60-day jail term on charges of simple battery, criminal trespass, public drunkenness and harassing phone calls. <br> <br> Tuesday&#39;s impeachment trial is the result of a 3-2 decision by city council members in response to a request asking to have Byrd removed from office. <br> <br> Although Byrd was asked to resign by four of the five remaining city council members, he continued to attend city council meetings up until his incarceration on May 13. <br> <br> If the council votes to impeach him, Byrd could continue attending city council meetings once released from jail if he chooses to appeal the decision.
