Farmington • Auditors say staff at a sheriff's office north of Salt Lake City spent unauthorized funds on travel and hotels, carried out time card fraud and failed to properly account for jail inmates' personal property.
The Standard-Examiner reported Tuesday that a tip from a whistleblower prompted an audit into time cards at the Davis County Sheriff's Office, causing the Utah Attorney General's Office to investigate.
Among the findings outlined in a series of county auditor reports covering 2013 to 2016 were claims that personnel falsified time cards, a deputy was put up in a luxury hotel suite and money dropped off for inmates was not accounted for.
