The employee of the Davis County Sheriff’s Office who oversees budgeting, financial planning and manages procurement and money handling was put on paid administrative leave Thursday amid another county audit of the agency.
R. Keith Major, the sheriff’s business manager who has worked in the office for nearly 23 years, was placed on leave, the county’s human resources director confirmed Friday.
Clerk/Auditor Curtis Koch said he was conducting an audit but declined to say anything else. The Standard-Examiner first reported that Major was the subject of the audit.
“I am conducting an audit,” Koch told The Tribune on Friday.
