Currently the Police Department in Muskegon is under investigation after money went missing from a property room.
Officials are telling media that detectives from the Michigan State Police are “conducting an investigation involving the Muskegon Heights Police Department.”
Chief of the department is Ron Rake, it was him who requested the department to be investigated in March.
“The MSP began an audit of some possible discrepancies into monies received by the Muskegon Heights Police Department,” a press release stated. “As a result of the ongoing audit, detectives believe that monies are missing from the property room of the police department.”
Currently not much information has been released about this issue because only after a full investigation has been conducted, it is fair to tell media what their findings are. When investigation is complete, the floor will be given to the Muskegon County Prosecutor’s Office for review. Only after this, we will know if criminal charges are warranted or not.
As of the moment Rake is working as a deputy for the Muskegon County Sheriff’s Office after resigning from the Heights department. Definetely its just a matter of time what really happened to the money, until then we can only wait.
