The Butler County Sheriff’s Office and Prosecutor Mike Gmoser are working to identify the appropriate criminal charges, and charges will likely be filed against Kornhaus in the coming days, officials said.
Kornhaus resigned immediately.
“You place trust in the men and women you work with, and it saddens me that Mr. Kornhaus committed these acts and broke that trust,” Swain said. “When we discovered the theft, we immediately reported it and I’m grateful for the swift actions taken by the prosecutor’s office and sheriff’s office.”
