Sandusky County Sheriff Kyle Overmyer under indictment

A Sandusky county grand jury has issued 43 indictments – of which 38 are felonies – against Sandusky County Sheriff Kyle Overmyer. Fox 8 reports the indictments come following an investigation by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation that began in September of 2015. The investigation started when a number of local police chiefs in Sandusky County expressed concerns about Overmyer’s behavior in connection with prescription drug disposal drop box collections. The indictments charge that Overmyer improperly used and tampered with department funding records and that he deceived doctors and pharmacists to get prescription pain medicine. Theft charges against him relate to allegations that he improperly took medications from the drop boxes.
