Lake County Coroner Shannon Kent resigns amid criminal allegations


The Lake County Board of Commissioners officially recognized the resignation of Coroner Shannon Kent during a meeting Monday afternoon.
Kent submitted his resignation to the board Friday, April 30, according to Lake County Commissioner Kayla Marcella. Kent and his wife, Deputy Coroner Stacy Kent, were arrested Feb. 18 on charges of attempted tampering with a deceased human body, a Class 4 felony, after local law enforcement discovered a body that had been in the Kents’ Silverthorne funeral home for several months.
During the meeting Monday, Marcella said Shannon Kent’s resignation would take effect Aug. 1 or as soon as another person is chosen to take over the position. Lake County Clerk and Recorder Patricia Berger said the new person would take office through the election in November 2022.
