SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – There’s another investigation underway at the South Dakota Department of Revenue.
According to a statement from Attorney General Marty Jackley, the Division of Criminal Investigation is “investigating a state Department of Revenue criminal matter.”
According to the statement, the “criminal matter” was reported by the Department of Revenue and is separate from a previous title fraud investigation. Earlier this month, an investigation by the DCI found former state employee Sandra O’Day forged 13 vehicle titles between 2016 and 2023 resulting in $400,000 worth of loans.
This latest investigation is the third this summer involving state employees. Jackley announced a former Department of Social Services employee stole more than $1.7 million. Earlier this week, Lonna Carroll, 68, pled not guilty in Hughes County Circuit Court on two criminal charges of stealing more than $1.7 million in state and federal funds from the state Division of Child Protection Services in the South Dakota Department of Social Services.
“As with any other criminal investigation, updates on this investigation will be provided to the extent permitted under South Dakota law,” Jackley said in a news release.
This is a developing story.
