so, she stole thousands and is not making plans to repay...shouldn't the police be contacted to pursue criminal charges against her? This is a crime.

I've never heard of another mismanaged county like this one. Employees do what they want, say what they want, and run the show. When they get caught no one does anything and some of them even stay hired or get rehired. Starts at the top.

Why is this woman not in jail? She is a thief. Plain and simple. And she needs to be treated as one. If she was a copper thief she would be sitting her butt in jail. Maybe those at the top are afraid she might tell something they dont want to come out. This county needs some big changes made. Starting at the top.

Annie, there are two kinds of justice. One for the "haves" and one for the "have nots."

You give robbers a second chance! LOCK HER UP! Larry, do your job!!!

Did someone make a deal with Ellerby not to prosecute if she signed a statement that she would repay the money she stole??

If you did, you do not have the authority to act on behalf of the voters of Lamar County.

Come on. Quit playing around with Ellerby and prosecute her for violation of her oath of office.

So if someone went out and robbed a bank, then set up a restitution plan to pay it back. They would not go to jail???????

Taxpayers this is my money and your money, why is she not in jail? why did the county auditor catch this, and how much is she paid not to find this error? We deserve an answer Mr Patterson and Matthews.

I bet if Joe Buice was Sheriff she would have been taken out in handcuffs.

With a camera there to take the picture!

I understand that 1.3 million is missing from our county funds (our tax money) ... I also understand that this payroll thief has threatened to take others down with her is she is prosecuted. Can this be true?????

Maybe it is time for Lamar county citizens to take this matter in hand. It can be done. She needs to pay money back and go to jail. It has happened in other counties and they pay for the CRIME they committed. This is a prime example of money shortages and no one to stand up for us and do what is right!

"Ellerby has not provided restitution plan" So if I rob a bank in B'ville and get caught then I'll be given the opportunity to repay the money before being arrested or going to jail?

And it wasn't discovered until "Our man on the scene" Walter Geiger requested the information. I think this will get him the Pulitzer he's been working so hard for all these years.

Do you feel better since you won your tony for the squealer in Deliverance.

You would think if the law worked equally, that would be true.
