LOUIS — A southern Illinois sheriff charged with trafficking marijuana, including while on duty, will not lose his job unless he's convicted or resigns, county officials said Wednesday.

Federal agents arrested Gallatin County Sheriff Raymond Martin, 46, last month at his office on three counts of marijuana distribution and two counts of carrying a firearm _ his service weapon _ while trafficking drugs. A grand jury in Benton, Ill., indicted Martin on the charges Tuesday.
