New information in Auditor’s Office probe

VW independent/submitted information

Updated information from Van Wert County Sheriff Thomas M. Riggenbach notes that the investigation into criminal activity in the County Auditor’s Office stems from a complaint about alleged criminal activity that is believed to have occurred in May of this year.

The investigation does not involved the former county auditor, Nancy Dixon, the sheriff noted.

Sheriff Riggenbach then contacted the Ohio Attorney General’s Office’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation and requested it conduct an investigation into the allegations.

More information will be made available as it is received.
