The Lorain County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post on Thursday morning that deputies are executing search warrants at the county administration building and the 911 center.
On Thursday afternoon, County Commissioner Dave Moore released a statement saying the search is related to a civil lawsuit.
“The sheriff is using taxpayer resources and county deputies to execute a criminal search warrant searching for the same documents that he is requesting in his civil lawsuit,' Moore said. 'Using the criminal process to ask for documents subject to a civil lawsuit is a complete abuse of power. It’s a waste of taxpayer resources.
These deputies should be investigating real crime, not out here on Sheriff Hall’s political vendetta against the county commissioners because he wants to take over 911 and take over the 911 levy to pay for his ridiculously expensive jail. ”According to the sheriff's office, computer forensics personnel are on site at each building. No information has been released by the sheriff as to why they are there or what prompted the search warrants.
The sheriff's office said that 911 operations will not be affected during its investigation. News 5 has learned there will be a news conference this afternoon at 3 p.m. with the sheriff's office, where we expect to learn more. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO WATCH HERE:
