Ind. Coruts - Ex-aide to Clark County judge target of inquiry
The Louisville Courier Journal reports today, in a story by Alex Davis:
Clark Superior Court Judge Jerry Jacobi called yesterday for a special prosecutor to investigate the activities of his former chief of staff, who resigned earlier this month after seven years of service.Jacobi, who is running for re-election, said in a letter to Clark County Prosecutor Steve Stewart that his court has been cooperating since Nov. 2 with an investigation by the Indiana State Board of Accounts, the state's auditing agency.
The letter also said that on Feb. 8 Jacobi had asked for and received the resignation of his chief of staff, Jerry Lemmons, after learning "more details about the allegations and the nature of (Lemmons') involvement" in matters relating to the state investigation. * * *
Lemmons, reached yesterday at his home in Jeffersonville, said that he was unaware of Jacobi's letter and that his resignation was for medical reasons and not because of questions about his conduct. He also said he was unaware of the details of the State Board of Accounts investigation.
