The investigation into possible payroll fraud within the Monroe City Engineering Department is still ongoing.
Louisiana State Police finished its investigation in September and handed over its results to the District Attorney Jerry Jones.
This case dates back to an audit last year conducted by the legislative auditor.
The audit suggested that Sinyale Morrison, may have violated state laws when she hired an employee and paid him for work he may not have actually done.
After the investigation was handed over to the District Attorney's office, Monroe City Attorney Nanci Summersgill issued this statement:
"We await the next step in the judicial process, which is to hear from the D.A.'s office after they review the state police report. This remains an ongoing legal matter. depending on what the results are, we will take any appropriate action (if any is called for) when the matter has been finally concluded."
