Sheriff Responds To Spending Questions

The Polk County Sheriff gives up his county credit card, after officials accuse him of misusing it. Sheriff Chris Abril admits he used the card to rent a car while representing the department at an event in New Jersey.

But county leaders say Abril needed prior approval before using the card for a car rental. Abril says this is not an issue because he paid the credit card bill with money from the sheriff's special jail and drug fund.Abril Credit Card Questions (08/19/08)
