REVIEW-JOURNAL

Jones signed both warrants on June 4 based on a sealed affidavit.

At the constable’s office in Henderson, police searched for financial statements, ledgers, canceled checks, bookkeeping documents and payments to vendors, records show.

Police also wanted employee pay records apparently because the money Mitchell used for questionable expenses was from county funds provided to pay his officers, records show.

Records show police seized a shotgun and two computers at his office, but it’s not clear why police seized the weapon. Police also took paperwork, a computer thumb drive, a cellphone and a computer.

Mitchell’s attorney, Damian Sheets, could not be reached for comment.

Several staffers at the Henderson constable’s office are paid directly by the county, but the deputies who serve court papers and execute evictions receive their pay from the township accounts police seized.

County spokesman Dan Kulin could not immediately answer questions about how the constable’s office will continue to pay staffers since police seized the funds.
