Mercer County Sheriff Jeff Grey announced today that his Office is investigating the theft of records from the Mercer County Board of Elections.
On October 8, 2009 at approximately 10:40 AM the Sheriff’s Office was contacted by the Mercer County Board of Elections. They advised a male had made a public records request. The suspect, age 34, from Ft. Recovery, Ohio, advised he did not desire to keep the records, but just to look over them. However, when the staff became busy, he left the office with the records. Quick thinking staff members contacted the Sheriff’s Office, who located the subject with the records as he was attempting to drive away from the Courthouse. Some of the documents removed were original documents. The documents included voter registration lists and retention schedules.
No arrest has been made at this point as the case has been forwarded to the Mercer County Prosecutors Office for review of appropriate charges. Possible charges may include Tampering With Records which is a felony of the third degree or Theft, a misdemeanor of the first degree.
Probably somebody from ACORN, Rush told me in a dream that they wouldn't stop at anything to win the next election.
