chillicothegazette.com

 We now know the nature of the misconduct investigation being conducted against Pike County Sheriff Charles Reader. 

An anonymous complaint alleges Reader pocketed cash from drug busts to support his gambling addiction. The complaint says Reader was the only person in the office who had access to the cash. The accuser also told the state auditor's office Reader took money from other deputies and owed money to local businesses. Reader has yet to comment.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
