Indictments Against Cop Are Quashed
Belmont County Sheriff George B. Neff 42 had three remaining indictments quashed in Common Pleas Court at the prosecutor's request. He faced two bribery counts and one food conversion charge linked to jail supplies. The bribery claims stemmed from a deputy’s statement about soliciting bribes from private clubs in Barnesville for overlook of alcohol sales in a dry town. One bribery case hung, another led to acquittal. The food conversion action was paused as Neff agreed to follow the Bureau of Inspection decision, with further steps deferred pending examination of his records.
