Sandusky County (Ohio) sheriff indicted on 43 counts

FREMONT — Sandusky County Sheriff Kyle Overmyer was indicted Tuesday by a grand jury on 43 counts, including 38 felony counts that include theft and tampering with records charges.

Sheriff Overmyer, 42, is accused of using money and tampering with records from his office’s Furtherance of Justice funds.

The indictments allege he deceived physicians and pharmacists to obtain prescription pain medication, and that he took medications from area prescription drug-disposal drop boxes.

The sheriff turned himself in to authorities after 10 p.m., said Dan Tierney, spokesman for Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine.

Well, maybe now he'll realize how wrong it is for government to be locking people up for putting "forbidden" chemicals in their own damn bodies.
