Alabama sheriff legally used $750K in inmate food funds to buy beach house
GADSDEN, Ala. -- An Alabama sheriff legally used more than $750,000 of funds
meant to feed inmates to purchase a beach house. Etowah County Sheriff
Todd Entrekin told The Birmingham News he follows a state law passed before
World War II that allows sheriffs to keep "excess" inmate-feeding funds for
themselves.
Entrekin reported on state ethics forms that he made "more than $250,000"
each of the past three years through the funds.
The sheriff's annual salary is more than $93,000. He and his wife purchased
a four-bedroom house with an in-ground pool and canal access in September
for $740,000.
Entrekin got a $592,000 mortgage. The home is one of several properties with
a total assessed value of more than $1.7 million that the couple own
together or separately. |
