[edit] County files probe may take months

"Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks said Friday it might be a couple of months before charges could be brought against the two former county commissioners accused of taking public records with them when they left office.

That's how long, Mincks said, it will take the current commissioners and other county officials to sufficiently comb through the mounds of paper documents and electronic files confiscated from the homes of former office-holders John Grimes and Larry Steinel.

"This is going to be a very detailed, intensive search," Mincks said. "I will say it's going to be a couple of months before our report is sent to (Washington County Prosecutor) Jim Schneider.""
