Sounds more to me like she is the one going to hang for it, she will go to a cushy federal prison for 7 to 10 years, and be set for retirement when she gets out, she will never have to work another day in her life.

I think there is something “fishy” about this story. Having access to that much money…even over 10 years…and there is apparently nothing to show for it. Hope they check to see if there was someone else involved….or possibly responsible.

Well, if anyone else was involved I hope further investigation brings it to light. There definitely needs to be an investigation into who was doing the Sheriff’s Office’s audits all these years (assuming they had regular audits.) Was anyone else overseeing this employee or was one employee entrusted with all the records/funds? (not wise)
Looks like they have some safeguards now (“recently implemented accounting practices”.) I wonder if any of the money is recoverable?

I don’t think she took 1.43 million, someone else filled some pockets as well.

I bet she dide not work alone. Some other inside help. Some of the biggest crooks work there. They are blaming all that is missing on her and my bet is she didn’t do it all. They need to look deeper.
Just my thoughts!!!

Well Z, you post 10% of your actual bond with a bondsman guarantee on the rest. Since it was seized drug money, I wouldn’t exactly say “its the taxpayers money.”

Ok, now how do we recover all of this money, so that it can be used for the purposes that it was intented for?

Doesn’t look like she spent any of the 1.43 mil on makeovers, so she should have plenty for the $2,500 bail bond fee….

It is my understanding that people released on bond only post 10% of the bond, which in her case would be $2,500.
