BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - A former Monroe County auditor faces fraud and official misconduct charges for allegedly using his county-issued credit card for personal expenses.
Online court records show three fraud counts and the misconduct charge were filed this week against 64-year-old Steve Saulter of Bloomington for using his county-issued credit card 15 times in the fall of 2015 to purchase food and medicine.
The Herald-Times reports (https://bit.ly/2e9QlDG0 ) Saulter admitted making the $620 in purchases, but told a police detective he unintentionally used the office credit card instead of his personal debit card because he was under a lot of personal stress at the time and the cards were similar in appearance.
