Farmington • Prosecutors won't file charges connected to auditors' findings that a sheriff's office north of Salt Lake City misspent public money and committed time card fraud.
The Standard-Examiner reports that prosecutors decided the allegations against the Davis County Sheriff were administrative issues rather than criminal complaints.
Auditors faulted Sheriff Todd Richardson for allowing a deputy to report vacation time as work time, among other issues. He has denied wrongdoing, saying it was an oversight that happened while trying to fulfill a benefits promise for experienced deputy.
Some public officials aren't happy with the decision not to file charges.
