Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley resigned after pleading guilty to two misdemeanor charges related to campaign finance rules.
Bentley faced impeachment hearings over allegations that he tapped state resources to facilitate and hide an extramarital affair with a former aide.
Bentley announced his resignation shortly after he was booked into Montgomery County Jail.
Lt. Gov. Kay Ivey was sworn in Monday night as the 54th governor of Alabama.
