Former Sheriff Charged With Misuse Of Public Money

Former Ottawa County Sheriff Bob Bratton has been charged with spending 5 thousand dollars in government funds on personal items including clothing, prescription medicine and tickets for Cedar Point amusement park. The money was designed to pay for law enforcement needs. The 60-year-old current police chief of Genoa submitted his retirement papers yesterday when charges were filed.

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.
