Governor appoints acting Caswell DA
RALEIGH (AP) — A former Superior Court judge will serve the rest of the term of the district attorney for two North Carolina counties who retired this month as state agents investigate him.
Gov. Beverly Perdue announced today that James M. Long will be the acting district attorney for Person and Caswell counties through the end of the year until a new DA is elected. Long succeeds Joel Brewer, who had held the job since 1994.
The State Bureau of Investigation is investigating Brewer. A search warrant and affidavit filed Tuesday said the SBI is investigating whether Brewer impersonated a law enforcement officer and misused his authority in other ways. Brewer's attorney declined to comment on the documents.
Long served as a Superior Court judge for 24 years.
