Audit shows improper use of city's drug funds
MEMPHIS, TN -
(WMC-TV) - Councilwoman Janis Fullilove is now asking for a forensic audit of the Memphis Police Department - she said there are many unanswered questions surrounding the newly released audit of the MPD's Organized Crime Unit.
A drug fund of more than $3.8 million can be used for drug education and enforcement. However, according to the report, there was improper use of that which included $183,555 in overtime pay and more than $41,000 in purchases. The audit also showed a lack of adequate documentation for expenditures.
"Something doesn't seem quite right. We don't know how 23,000 rounds of ammunition have just disappeared. You got thousands of dollars being spent out of drug money not supposed to be spent," said Fullilove.
