According to WNDU, Jason Woodruff is accused of embezzling more than $5,000 dollars during the first couple of months of 2021. He resigned last March.
A plea agreement filed for his initial hearing states that Woodruff was in charge of the evidence room for about six years, and that he admits to stealing more than $17,000 in total.
Woodruff’s plea deal calls for him to pay restitution.
