Ex-Madison County Treasurer to be back in court Monday in theft, records tampering case
DES MOINES, Iowa — Former Madison County Treasurer Amanda DeVos is due in court Monday for a pre-trial hearing.
Back in January, DeVos was arrested for alleged misconduct in office, tampering with records, and third-degree theft, among other charges. Criminal complaints filed in the case claim she used her access as county treasurer to alter documents to make it look like she paid the $758 registration fee for her vehicle when she hadn't.

Roughly a month later, the Madison County Sheriff's Office announced similar criminal charges were being filed against her in connection with property taxes owed by DeVos for 2023/2024.
DeVos was relieved of her duties after a vote during a Madison County Board of Supervisors meeting in February, however it appears she continued to collect her salary for more than two months until a petition to formally remove her from office was filed in April.
Pending litigation, county officials have since been ordered not to pay DeVos' $80,000 salary and benefits. A public hearing about this other matter is scheduled for July 18th.
The pretrial hearing is being held at the Madison County Courthouse in Winterset at 9:30 a.m. Monday.
