Camden County’s sheriff is being sued by county commissioners—-at issue is confiscated drug money that he refused to give control to, and which commissioners say he spent unlawfully. A civil petition has been filed against Sheriff Bill Smith, asking for an order to transfer complete control over all seized asset accounts to commissioners. The petition is also asking for an order to prevent Smith from spending any money from the accounts. Money in the accounts totaled 1.6 million dollars last year. The sheriff has 30 days to respond in court.
