What Kind of Crimes are Felonies?
(http://www.chetson.com/felonies/nc-felony-information/)

Violent felonies can be anything from First Degree Murder (the most serious crime in North Carolina) to Robbery with a Dangerous Weapon (Armed Robbery). Violent felonies also include rapes, sex offenses, violent assaults, attempted murder, manslaughter (a form of killing), burglaries.

Constitutional amendment: Should felons be sheriff?

Voters in all counties will see this prompt on the ballot:
Check "For" or "Against" for the following: "Constitutional amendment providing that no person convicted of a felony may serve as sheriff." This referendum was placed on the ballot by legislators after five convicted felons across the state ran in the May sheriff primaries.

That old saying about not letting a fox into the henhouse—well, it makes sense.

If a person's past is tarnished enough to preclude them from serving as sheriff, so be it.
