Review of missing drug funds completed

Oconee Sheriff Mike Crenshaw’s lengthy review of the case of the missing drug fund money has resulted in this announcement today:  “I do not see any facts or evidence to indicate the need for further investigation.  Crenshaw says he bases that conclusion on “evidence in this case, interviews with current employees, interviews with various citizens, results of a polygraph test, and the opinion of a recognized forensic accountant….”  He also offered this on why only a portion of the stolen money could be accounted for by the SLED investigation “in part due to the subject not being able to account for how the money was spent other than ‘frivolously.’  In 2010, former office manager Kathleen Taylor was sent to prison for 18 months for embezzlement and ordered to pay back more than $500 thousand.
