Boone County funds shortage blamed on former treasurer
A Boone County grand jury reported a $114,000 shortage in the county treasurer's office traced to former treasurer J. Harold Peterson who died in May 1966 after 33 years in office. He allegedly used funds to cover daily living expenses with no negotiable assets to recover the loss. Peterson was bonded for $10,000. The panel faulted the state auditor's office for delayed detection and said proper procedures could have prevented the loss.
