Clinton County Sheriff And Wife Ordered To Pay

The Clinton County Sheriff, his wife and their company were ordered last week to pay $329,360.47 over the improper use of jail commissary funds and the costs of a state audit, according to a court ruling released Monday. The ruling came from a 30-page Indiana Board of Accounts in 2021 in which Clinton County Sheriff Richard Kelly and his wife, Ashley Kelly, and their company Leonne LLC were accused of improper spending.  The Indiana Attorney General’s Office in March 2023 sued the sheriff, his wife and their company, leading to Wednesday’s summary judgment from Special Judge Thomas Lett of Tipton County.
