Five Judges Have Recused Themselves From Hearing The Misdemeanor Assault Case Against Scott County Sheriff Jeff Edds, Sr., After Edds’ Daughter-In-Law, Ashli Nicole Edds, Accused Him Of Assault. Edds Was Issued A Summons And Is Scheduled For Arraignment On Oct. 1. The Judges’ Recusals, Along With The County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Recusal, Will Require The Virginia Supreme Court To Appoint A Substitute Judge And Special Prosecutor From Another Jurisdiction. Edds’ Lawyer, Tim Mcafee, Is Representing Him, But Edds Has Not Commented On His Duty Status As Sheriff.
