Audit Uncovers Theft in Hardin County
A recent audit in Hardin County brought scrap metal to light. According to state auditors, employees of the Hardin County Solid Waste Department removed scrap metal from the county’s solid waste department and sold it for personal gain. Officials said management of the solid waste department had knowledge of this illegal activity, but did not take corrective action. While the auditors could not give the value of scrap metal taken, the district attorney is continuing the investigation.
