CLEVELAND — “Gerald McFaul, the longest serving sheriff in county history, will be sentenced at 2 p.m. for two felony theft in office charges and a misdemeanor ethics violation. The charges carry a sentence of up to 10 years in prison, but McFaul could be placed on probation instead….
A Plain Dealer investigation last year sparked the criminal probe of McFaul’s three decades as sheriff. He was charged on May 28 by criminal information, which means McFaul had cooperated with prosecutors.
McFaul cheated the county of thousands of dollars by forcing workers to sell tickets to his clambakes while on duty, admitted he allowed employees to sell the tickets in the Justice Center.” Mark Puente, The Plain Dealer.
