Cass County Prosecutor Victor Fitz

Sarah Scoggin was appointed on an interim basis back in May, following the resignation of Victor Fitz. Now, the county says she’s agreed to stay until Fitz’s term ends.

“My first week in office has definitely been informative, interesting, hectic – I don’t know how exactly to describe it,” said interim prosecutor Sarah Scoggin.

Cass County's administrator and commissioners refute former Prosecutor Victor Fitz' claims Wednesday that they didn't do enough to provide competitive pay for assistant prosecuting attorneys.

Cass County Prosecutor Victor Fitz didn't give a reason in his resignation letter Monday to Circuit Court Judge Mark Herman, but it comes less than a month after Fitz voiced frustration with county commissioners rejecting his request to increase pay for deputy prosecuting attorneys.
