No criminal charges filed against Dubois County Sheriff
HENDERSON, Ky (WEHT) – The Daviess County Sheriff's Office says Orange County Special Prosecutor Holly Hudelson has decided to not file criminal charges against Sheriff Tom Kleinhelter.
Officials state it was determined Kleinhelter never took a trip to the country of Dubai for the World Police Summit and all money in the planning of the trip had been paid back to the county in full.
Officials also state after the State Board of Accounts completed their audit in the matter, Sheriff Kleinhelter conducted his own personal audit into the commissary fund of the Dubois County Jail and made sure any money above and beyond what the State Board of Accounts had flagged was also paid and accounted for within the fund.
'Sheriff Kleinhelter never had the intention to defraud Dubois County and always maintained he did not abuse his responsibilities as the elected Dubois County Sheriff and is happy to put this matter behind him,' the sheriff's office said.
