Newly elected sheriff Tommie Johnson III requested the audit upon entering office in an attempt to further transparency.
The Oklahoma State Auditor and Inspectors Office released the report which revealed the discrepancy.

Additionally, the audit found 1,091 items totaling $4,845,141 have not been properly disposed of.

An incorrect report of a burglary in Nicoma Park led to a roughly 20-mile car chase that ended with a crash and manhunt in Pottawatomie County.
Oklahoma County dispatch received a 911 call Monday night from a woman who said a home on E. Sewell Ave. in Nicoma Park was broken into.
“There are people over there tearing that house apart and it is not the cops,” the caller told dispatchers.
The owner of the home said there was no break-in. The owner, who requested to not be identified, shared security footage with News 9 overlooking the front of the home.
