The president of the Salt Lake Honorary Colonels — a group of businesspeople who support the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office and Unified Police Department — has been charged with stealing money from the group and transferring it into his personal and professional bank accounts.
Michael Drury, 49, of Salt Lake City, was charged Friday in Utah’s Third District Court with taking more than $300,000 from the Salt Lake Honorary Colonels' coffers, as well as from the Utah Honorary Colonels, according to court documents. The Utah Honorary Colonels is a similar group that supports the Utah Attorney General’s Office.
