City says Sheriff his hiding two city vehicles, tows several from her lot - Progress Index
The disagreement shows the scars that remain following the April 1 jail closure, that sent Petersburg’s roughly 136 inmates to Riverside Regional Jail. According to the city’s fleet inventory list, two vehicles have been unaccounted for since the city began paring down the sheriff’s fleet of 43 vehicles and two hauling trailers, following the start of the closure. The vehicles were used by Crawford’s office but are owned by the city and will be redistributed to other city departments. The sheriff maintains that after the closure of the jail, she hasn’t been allowed nearly enough staff or vehicles to perform her office’s duties of serving papers, providing court security and running a temporary holding cell for inmates.
