Monroe County Clerk Jamie Romeo held a press conference at 2:30 p.m. on Monday about the criminal investigation into missing funds from the clerk's office. Money sent to the Monroe County Clerk’s Office to pay mortgage discharge fees has been stolen. At least 16 checks, sent by banks on behalf of their customers to the Clerk’s office in late May were taken, altered, forged and cashed. The known-theft currently amounts to about $32,000 but investigators believe there may be other victims.
