Federal audit finds no criminal wrongdoing by drug task force
by Chris Joyner

A federal audit of a Mississippi narcotics task force turned up no criminal wrongdoing and only a few paperwork problems.

State officials had alleged mismanagement of federal funds by the North Central Narcotics Task Force.

Now, sheriffs in the Delta region are hoping the audit, conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice Inspector General's Office, will help resurrect the task force, which disbanded earlier this year for lack of funding.
