Special prosecutor Christopher Gaal acknowledged an Indiana State Police investigation finding that former DuComb Center director Sharon McBride wasn't always at the work release facility during business hours, but says she wasn't required to be, as an exempt salaried employee.

Elkhart County Sheriff Jeff Siegel says despite a jury finding both William Fackelman and Don McQuarie not guilty of ghost employment, he thinks they acted inappropriately in receiving county pay while working off-duty security jobs at a bank.

Elkhart County Sheriff Jeff Siegel confirmed he's rehired James Bradberry Sr. as an unsworn courthouse security officer because he believes in restorative justice. Bradberry is a former captain who quit when he was convicted of false informing in 2019 but he had his conviction expunged earlier this year by Judge David Bonfiglio.
