The Maries County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a social media post on Wednesday that it was missing more than $5,000 in cash.
“In late June, I was informed by staff that over $5,000 in cash was missing. Upon learning this, I immediately made a formal request to the Missouri State Highway Patrol to investigate the matter. The Maries County Prosecuting Attorney was also made aware of the incident,” the post says. “I requested the Highway Patrol’s involvement to ensure accountability and transparency throughout the investigation. Unfortunately, due to the fact that this is an active investigation, I am unable to release many details at this time.”
Sheriff Mark Morgan wrote that he requested the Missouri State Highway Patrol to investigate and that more information will be released later. The patrol wrote in an email that its Division of Drug and Crime Control will investigate.
