Investigation Rocks Abuse Support Org | Milwaukee News

A former executive director of Advocates of Ozaukee, a key shelter for abuse survivors, is under investigation for alleged internal theft — a case now being handled by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office. The probe, described as complex and months in the making, could lead to charges of theft in a business setting involving property valued between $5,000 and $10,000. The controversy escalated when a board member — also an assistant district attorney — resigned, citing ethical concerns over a proposed plea deal that might imply negotiating criminal liability.

No other board members or the accused have spoken publicly, and formal charges remain pending. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
