Feb. 10 (UPI) -- Heath Hall left his position with the Federal Railroad Administration after reports surface that he also was working as a public-relations consultant for the Madison County, Miss., sheriff's office.

Hall, appointed to the FRA in June, had pledged on a federal ethics form that his firm wouldn't be active while he worked at the department, yet the firm continued to collect payments from Madison County between July and December.

Hall became acting administrator while Ron Batory, President Donald Trump's nominee, awaits Senate confirmation, which has stalled since July.
