ST. BERNARD PARISH - State officials say an employee with the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff’s Office may have been responsible for thousands of dollars that went missing from the department s sales tax collections.
A report from an independent auditor indicates that an employee working in the sales tax collection office was alleged to have altered receipts and misappropriated sales taxes paid in cash.
The auditor s report notes that the amount missing was estimated to be about $40,000.

“We literally cheered in my office when we heard the governor said Phase 3,” Jefferson Parish District 5 Councilmember Jennifer Van Vrancken said.
