Written by In 2006, Sheriff Sheila Prue was investigated following an anonymous tip alleging misconduct involving financial mismanagement and misuse of department resources. The state auditor’s office conducted a thorough investigation, uncovering evidence of embezzlement and other financial irregularities. Prue was charged with felony embezzlement and two misdemeanors. She agreed to plead guilty, resign from her position, and repay $36,000 to the county. An anonymous donor paid the remaining $26,000 of her restitution, leading to the expungement of her felony record. Prue did not serve any jail time.
