February 2, 2013, Sheehy issued a two-sentence resignation letter. Later that day, Governor Dave Heineman held a press conference at the state capitol building to announce that he had accepted Sheehy's resignation. At the press conference, Heineman said, "We take our public trust very seriously. I had trusted him, and that trust was broken." Heineman's office subsequently released cell phone records corroborating the World-Heralds reporting. The records showed Sheehy had been making calls to women other than his wife for at least four years. He was replaced by Lavon Heidemann. Personal life Sheehy married Connie Sheehy in 1983. The couple had two children before divorcing in 2012.
