From what I understand a sheriff can be removed from the office for malfeasance by being charged with a felony or theft. That's how he was removed. I believe it's the same for other elected officials, please correct me if I'm wrong, I don't want to spread misinfo.

It really depends. A governor may be able to fire your sheriff, depending on how your State’s constitution and/or laws is/are worded. Generally speaking, county sheriff is an elected position at the county level that is independent of the governor’s authority at the state level.
