The former police chief of the town of Stockton is accused of embezzling tens of thousands of dollars from the Utah Department of Highway Safety from funds that were earmarked for DUI shifts.
STOCKTON, Tooele County —
The investigation began in February when a Stockton town official "found irregularities in checks" issued to Romney, according to charging documents. In addition to receiving his regular salary, Romney worked overtime DUI shifts funded by the Department of Highway Safety. "Romney's payroll records were inspected, and calculations were performed to calculate his correct time-and-a-half wage, which was based on bi-monthly installments of his yearly income," the charges state, while also noting that "multiple discrepancies were observed between the appropriate calculated time-and-a-half rate and the amount he billed to highway safety."
In addition, the state reimbursed police agencies for "up to five hours at the employee's normal time-and-a-half rate." However, "Romney over-billed highway safety for the DUI shifts between 2016 and 2022 by $22,191.53," the charges state.
