Elmore Co. sheriff did not intend to misuse funds

Posted on October 14, 2019

 

The Idaho Attorney General’s Office concluded the Elmore Co. sheriff did not intend to misuse public funds when he gave a retiring deputy time off with pay.

The AG’s office was asked to look into the situation following a whistleblower’s complaint earlier this year.

CBS 2 News reports, Sheriff Mike Hollinshead gave a retiring deputy 40 hours paid time-off after 17 years of service.

The sheriff told CBS 2 he was trying to make a recognition of that service.

Someone within the department complained about it to the AGs office, who then conducted what it calls a thorough investigation.

The investigator’s conclusion found no intent by the sheriff to misuse public funds and recommended the Elmore Co. sheriff personally reimburse the county $1,000 for the salary expenditure and that he have some remedial training on county leave policy.
