Auditors reviewing an Appalachian county's finances found that its former treasurer wrote herself checks worth more than $114,000 by dipping into county funds and emergency preparedness grant money, Kentucky's auditor said Tuesday.
State Auditor Mike Harmon said he was forwarding the findings regarding former Jackson County Treasurer Beth Sallee to the FBI, Kentucky State Police and state attorney general.

Sallee, who resigned from the appointed position last year, could not be reached for comment. A voice mailbox for a phone number listed for her was full.
