Parrottsville, TN (WOKI) A Cocke County police officer is under investigation for nearly $100K in questionable reimbursements from the town of Parrottsville.
The Tennessee Comptroller’s Office says that the town of Parrottsville issued 25 reimbursement checks, totaling over $470,000, to the unnamed officer as repayment for the officer using personal funds to purchase 70 vehicles through GovDeals.com, as well as vehicle parts, repairs, fuel and transportation costs as part of a plan to generate revenue for the police department.
Investigators are questioning over $95,000 of that amount due, in part, to reimbursements they say were paid with no or inadequate supporting documentation.
The results of the investigation have been communicated to the Office of the District Attorney General of the 4th Judicial District.
