Pikeville Transportation Worker Headed To Grand Jury
KENTUCKY....
The case against Patrick Yates, a Pikeville department of highway engineer, is headed to a Pike County Grand Jury. Yates is charged with felony theft after being accused of using his state credit card to buy gas, then selling it for a cheaper rate and pocketing the money. Investigators say he met people at a gas station and would use his state credit card to pay for their gas, then charge them half the price, but the state transportation department noticed Yates was spending more money on gas than his state vehicle could hold. Transportation department officials are cooperating with the Pikeville police investigation and conducting an internal investigation.
