KTHV reports legislative auditors are investigating the books for the city of Damascus. The investigation is looking allegations of missing money at Damascus City Hall has led the suspension of Police Chief Keith Robinson. Although the amount of money missing wasn’t disclosed, legislative auditors have asked the state police to investigate.
This leaves us wondering why this case warrants a state police investigation and the Faulkner County Sheriff’s office’s wide spread and egregious misuse of funds didn’t. After all the sheriff’s office cannot properly document where over $18,000 was spent with county credit cards. Then there is Sheriff Montgomery’s admitted misuse of county money for his tuition and trip taking where the county paid for his family and their friends.
But wait almost all of that was reimbursed so it isn’t a crime, right? My advice to Police Chief Keith Robinson of Damascus is to repay the money that is allegedly missing and say “ops my bad, sorry it won’t happen again”, hey it worked for Sheriff Montgomery and staff. . .
