Prosecutor asks for $10,000 more to bring wanted suspects back to Vigo County
What happened
A representative of the prosecutor's office asked the council for an additional $10,000 for the office's "return of fugitives" account, which pays to extradite or transport people back to Vigo County to face charges; the office started the year with $8,000 in the account and had about $7,000 already spent, leaving less than $1,000. The office said typical annual spending is around $10,000 and that this request is preventive, so the account does not run dry before year's end.
The outcome
Presented to the council for consideration; no vote was taken at this meeting.
