Former TN sheriff indicted on 113 charges
http://www.jacksonsun.com/story/news/crime/2015/11/30/former-gibson-co-sheriff-11-others-charged/76589830/Former Gibson County Sheriff Chuck Arnold and 11 others have been indicted on theft, official misconduct and other charges after an investigation by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
Arnold, five other former employees and six current employees of the Gibson County Sheriff's Office were indicted when a grand jury met on Monday....
"This started out as a concern the current sheriff had when he came into office that there were some items missing," Niland said. "As a result of that, they found several discrepancies in areas such as employee compensation, monies from the drug fund, and the way that some prescriptions were being handled."
According to a news release from the TBI, Arnold has been charged with four counts of theft over $10,000, 55 counts of official misconduct, nine counts of theft over $1,000, one count of forgery, one count of theft of $500 or more, one count of attempted theft of $1,000 or more, two counts of attempted theft of $10,000 or more, one count of conspiracy to obtain a controlled substance by fraud, and 39 counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud.
