Investigation Of Nitro City Police Funds Completed

  • {West Virginia}...City Treasurer John Young's staff in Nitro have completed an investigation into what happened to $58,000 in police funds that were unaccounted for in a recent state audit. City Attorney Richie Robb says he needs to look over the numbers and possibly supply the report to the Nitro City council before moving forward in the case. City leaders have said faulty computer equipment may be to blame in the deletion of the records.  Mayor Rusty Casto previously stated the money came from a special revenue fund that was not used for any criminal investigations. Robb says there's no doubt some purchases should be accounted for.
