A federal audit released Wednesday found the Shenandoah County Sheriff’s Office followed all rules in the reporting, accounting and spending of asset forfeiture funds received by the agency as a result of its participation in drug and cigarette smuggling prosecutions.
The audit, conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General from February through May, covered fiscal years 2013 and 2014. It provided the closest scrutiny the Sheriff’s Office has received from an outside agency of how asset forfeiture money is being managed.
