Jail store profits spark audit clash and legal questions
Records show jail store profits since 1964 totaling 5713 with 2375 in the bank and 2400 given to charity. Audit notes indicate a 19.75 percent markup on items from 1964 to 1967, and 16.29 percent in the last nine months. The sheriff argues profits may go to the county general fund if overseen by the board, while ongoing disputes question who should operate the jail store.
