Audit Referred To FBI
KENTUCKY...
According to audits released Thursday from state Auditor Crit Luallen, the office of Whitley County Sheriff Lawrence Hodge had a deficit of at least $92,000 in two accounts from 2007 tax collections, and, added to a deficit of more than $124,000 identified in audits released in 2009, Hodge's office is short more than $216,000. Much of the $92,000 resulted from undeposited receipts, meaning the office took in money that was not deposited. Luallen says poor records prevented auditors from documenting the true deficit which probably was higher.
