State Attorney, FBI Launch Probe Into Nonprofit
October 21, 2011
Search warrants have been executed and an investigation has been launched into the Three Rivers Resource Conservation Council, Inc. — a not for profit organization based in Milton comprised of representatives from the county commissions, Soil and Water Conservation Districts and members-at-large from Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Bay, Washington and Holmes counties.
The State Attorney’s Office together with the Florida Office of Fiscal Integrity and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, are investigating complaints of theft and misappropriation of public monies, equipment and funds provided to Three Rivers from federal and state grants intended for conservation projects, according to State Attorney Bill Eddins.
Law enforcement officers from the State Attorney’s Office, Office of Fiscal Integrity and FBI, supported by Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Santa Rosa Sheriff’s Office, Milton Police Department, Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office, State Attorney Office for the 14th Circuit, and Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, executed six search warrants at the Three Rivers offices in Milton and offices of entities doing business with Three Rivers at various locations in Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Washington counties.
Law enforcement officers also questioned several persons employed by or associated with Three Rivers regarding these allegations. This investigation is ongoing at this time, according to Eddins, and further details have not been released.

If the FBI starts launching probes into all the goings on around ESC, pretty soon the launcher would overheat, or they would run out of probes.

I guess it doesn’t end in Washington…too bad they aren’t investigating in D.C. I’m sure they could find something there!
